In this role, we are searching for a high-level strategic and operational leader who commands the job site, embodies the Ethos Way, and can seamlessly orchestrate multiple crews, subcontractors, and schedule logistics as we scale our commercial electrical construction footprint. Buckle up!

• Inspections & Quality Control: Conduct rigorous quality assurance walks, coordinate final testing and commissioning of electrical systems, and manage the local municipal and utility inspection sign-off processes.

• Financial & Progress Reporting: Generate and submit comprehensive daily construction logs tracking labor hours, production metrics, and unexpected field conditions; identify scope deviations and collaborate with PMs to initiate formal change orders.

• Leadership & Manpower Development: Mentor, evaluate, and provide strategic direction to Electrical Crew Leads (Foremen), Journeymen, and Apprentices, fostering a high-performance, solutions-oriented field culture.
