    • Provide input to monthly cost-to-complete (labor/material/equipment) in collaboration with the project management team.
    • Ensure accurate and timely field documentation (daily reports, JHAs/AHAs, as-builts, test records, timesheet approvals).
    • Identify and communicate scope changes; support RFIs, submittals, and change order documentation.
    • Other duties as assigned.

COMPETENCIES:
  • Leadership & People Development: coaches crews, builds accountability, and develops next-gen leaders.
  • Planning & Execution: look-ahead scheduling, material staging, and prefabrication planning.
  • Communication: clear written and verbal communication with crews, GC, owners, inspectors, and internal teams.
  • Problem Solving & Decision Making: quickly diagnoses field issues and implements practical solutions.
  • Safety Stewardship: models safe behaviors; sets clear expectations, holds people accountable and coaches to improve outcomes.
  • Quality & Compliance: reads plans/specs, one-lines, and shop drawings; ensures code-compliant, right-first-time installations.
  • Collaboration & Influence: drives coordination across trades and departments; resolves conflicts constructively.
  • Digital Fluency: uses project software and mobile tools to document work, track progress, and report status.

REQUIRED EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:
  • 10+ years of experience in the electrical trade with progressive field leadership (lead/foreman/superintendent).
  • Active state journeyman or master electrician license in the state of hire (or ability to obtain promptly).
  • Demonstrated experience delivering commercial/industrial electrical projects on schedule and within budget.
  • Strong working knowledge of the NEC (NFPA 70) and familiarity with NFPA 70E safe work practices.
