This is a senior field position for an electrician who can independently handle difficult service calls, troubleshoot complex electrical problems, oversee installation quality, and help develop less-experienced electricians and apprentices.

This is not strictly a management position . You will remain involved in the field, run revenue-producing calls, solve difficult technical problems, support other electricians, and help ensure our electrical work meets code and Mountain Valley standards.

For the right candidate, this position will also serve as our Electrical Trade Lead .
