We are seeking an experienced Electrical Lead to join our standby generator installation team based in Greensboro, North Carolina. This position leads the electrical portion of residential standby generator installations, from jobsite arrival through testing and completion.

The ideal candidate has strong residential electrical experience, understands transfer switches and standby power systems, and is comfortable leading installations while maintaining high standards for safety, code compliance, workmanship, and customer service.

• Coordinate with gas and propane installers, generator installers, project managers, inspectors, and other trades.
• Ensure installations meet applicable electrical codes, permitting requirements, manufacturer specifications, and company standards.
• Lead, train, and provide direction to electrical helpers and less-experienced installers.
• Maintain an organized work vehicle, tools, materials, and jobsite.
• Complete required job documentation, photographs, testing records, and installation checklists.
• Communicate professionally with homeowners throughout the installation process.
• Maintain a clean and safe jobsite from arrival through completion.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

We are looking for an Electrical Lead who can take ownership of the electrical side of each generator installation. The right candidate can assess a job, determine what needs to be done, lead the crew through the installation, and deliver clean, safe, code-compliant work.

This position requires someone who is comfortable making field decisions, troubleshooting unexpected issues, coordinating with other trades and project leadership, and helping less-experienced installers develop their skills.

• Full-time, consistent work
• Company vehicle for work-related travel during the workday; this is not a take-home vehicle
• Company-provided tools and equipment, as applicable
