Job Overview

Patriot Contracting LLC is hiring a Field Electrical Superintendent to lead our commercial electrical field operation across active projects in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC.

This is not a single-project superintendent position. You will oversee manpower across active jobs, manage and hold foremen accountable, and take ownership of whether electrical work is completed safely, on schedule, and within the labor margin we bid.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced commercial electrical leader who can work independently, make sound field decisions, and lead people without requiring daily supervision. You will also oversee the service side of the electrical operation, including dispatch, customer relationships, and service calls when capacity allows.

Who We Are

Patriot Contracting LLC is a general contractor specializing in commercial, industrial, and federal projects. We are a close-knit team where your contributions matter, your growth is supported, and your leadership is encouraged. Many team members have been with us for over 10–20 years—a testament to our culture of loyalty, mentorship, and opportunity.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a capable Field Electrical Superintendent who can bring leadership, accountability, and strong commercial electrical experience to our field operation. Learn more at www.patriot-contracting.com.
