Responsibilities
  • Install, bend, and route electrical conduit for commercial and warehouse projects.
  • Perform service relocations and install feeders, panels, switches, lighting, and electrical outlets.
  • Lead and supervise crews of approximately 510 electricians and laborers on job sites.
  • Coordinate daily activities and project milestones with project managers to ensure work stays on schedule.
  • Read and interpret electrical plans, specifications, and job scopes to plan and execute work effectively.
  • Ensure all work complies with applicable electrical codes, safety regulations, and company standards.
  • Train and guide team members on proper installation techniques, safety practices, and use of tools and equipment.
  • Monitor job progress, identify potential issues, and implement solutions to keep projects on track.
  • Maintain a safe work environment by enforcing OSHA requirements and promoting safe work habits.
  • Document work performed as required and communicate status updates to project leadership.
Essential Skills
  • Foreman-level electrician experience on commercial or industrial projects.
  • At least 5 years of commercial or industrial electrical experience.
  • Strong commercial and warehouse electrical background, including high-volume systems.
  • Ability to bend pipe accurately and efficiently for various applications.
  • Proficiency in installing feeders, panels, switches, lighting, and electrical outlets.
  • Hands-on experience working with different types of conduit in commercial environments.
  • Proven ability to work independently and to lead crews of 510 workers.
  • Demonstrated capability to meet project deadlines and coordinate effectively with project managers.
  • Minimum OSHA 10 certification.
  • Valid lift certifications for operating lifts and related equipment safely.
  • CPR certification required for the Foreman role.
  • Solid understanding of electrical codes, safety standards, and best practices on construction sites.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
  • At least 3 years of commercial or industrial electrical experience as a minimum baseline, with preference for 5 or more years.
  • Experience working for larger electrical contractors or on multi-phase commercial building projects.
  • Comfort working in both warehouse and commercial building environments.
  • Strong communication skills to direct crews and coordinate with project managers and other trades.
  • Ability to troubleshoot electrical issues and propose practical solutions in the field.
  • Commitment to ongoing skills development, including pursuit of additional certifications.
  • Reliability and consistency in attendance and performance on long-term projects.
Why Work Here?

You join a team that offers a consistent project pipeline and long-term workload, giving you stability and the opportunity to grow your career. The role provides a clear path from temporary assignment to permanent employment for high-performing individuals. You work under experienced leads and project managers who support your professional development, with ongoing skills training and reimbursement for certifications. You gain exposure to high-volume warehouse electrical systems and diverse commercial work, allowing you to expand your technical expertise and leadership capabilities over time.

Work Environment

The work is based out of Hawthorne with projects throughout the New Jersey area, primarily on commercial buildings and warehouse facilities.
