Lead Electrician

Job Description

Lead Electrical Mechanic – 10+ Years Experience

Overview

We’re looking for an experienced Lead Electrical Mechanic with 10+ years of commercial electrical experience who can lead by example while remaining hands-on in the field. This is a working lead position, not a supervisory-only role. We need someone who knows their trade, can take ownership of their work, guide other electricians when needed, and keep projects moving without constant direction.

Duties

• Perform hands-on electrical installations on commercial job sites
• Run conduit (EMT, rigid), pull wire, and complete terminations
• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and electrical drawings
• Handle electrical layout and installation from start to finish
• Install panels, switchgear, devices, fixtures, and other electrical equipment
• Troubleshoot electrical systems and resolve field issues
• Provide direction and guidance to other electricians while working alongside them
• Coordinate with foremen, project managers, and other trades to keep work progressing
• Maintain quality workmanship, productivity, and job site safety

Qualifications

• 10+ years of commercial electrical experience
• Strong conduit bending, installation, and electrical layout skills
• Ability to read blueprints and execute work independently
• Experience with panels, switchgear, terminations, and troubleshooting
• Previous experience as a Lead Mechanic or senior-level electrician preferred
• Ability to direct a small crew while remaining actively involved in installations
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills

We're looking for a true working lead — someone who can take charge when needed but isn't afraid to pick up their tools and work alongside the crew. If you're a strong mechanic who leads by example and knows how to get the job done right, we want to hear from you.
