• Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and on-the-job training to apprentices and journeyman electricians on the team
• Enforce and model safe work practices in compliance with OSHA standards and company safety policies at all times
• Evaluate electrical systems and make recommendations for upgrades, repairs, or improvements to management
• Respond to electrical emergencies and urgent service needs in a timely and professional manner

REQUIREMENTS

• Valid Alabama Master Electrician License — required, non-negotiable
• Minimum 5 years of electrical experience with at least 2 years operating at the master level or equivalent supervisory capacity
• Expert-level knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Alabama state electrical regulations
• Demonstrated experience across commercial, industrial, or institutional electrical systems — residential-only background will not be sufficient
• Ability to read and interpret complex electrical blueprints, single-line diagrams, and technical specifications
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to diagnose complex electrical issues efficiently under pressure
• Commitment to safety — OSHA 30 certification preferred; OSHA 10 minimum
• Solid communication skills — ability to interface professionally with management, clients, inspectors, and team members
• Valid Alabama driver's license with a clean driving record

• Prior experience managing or mentoring a team of electricians
