• Material & Equipment Staging: Work directly with the Project Manager and APM to verify on-site material deliveries, inspect major equipment (switchgear, transformers) upon arrival, and track tool inventory.

• Quality & Technical Control: Ensure work aligns with engineering drawings and project specifications. Identify field issues early, communicate drawing discrepancies, and request RFIs through the PM team.

NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience: 5+ years of experience as a Field Superintendent, General Foreman, or Senior Foreman overseeing field operations on commercial or industrial electrical construction projects.

• Technical Expertise: Journeyman or Master Electrician license required. Deep technical expertise in medium-to-heavy industrial electrical installations, major equipment power distribution, and blueprint reading.

• Certifications: OSHA 30 certification required. First Aid/CPR certification preferred.

• Software Proficiency: Comfortable using job site technology; experience reviewing plans, tracking daily logs, and referencing submittals using tools like Procore and Excel.

• Leadership & Communication: Outstanding team leadership skills, strong conflict resolution ability, and a clear, direct communication style with both site crews and project managers.

• Location & Travel: Ability to travel extensively and relocate/be stationed on nationwide job sites as project phases require.
