Electrical Foreman

Commercial Electrical Foreman

Walsh Electrical Services is seeking Commercial Electrical Foremen for projects across Middle Tennessee. We build retail spaces, restaurants, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and more. Our Foremen are the field leaders who make sure every job is built right.

The Foreman oversees several projects, typically three to four, each run day to day with a Lead. You work with your Project Manager or Superintendent to plan how each job will be built, then direct the work in the field and make the critical job-site decisions. You monitor progress on every job, keep management informed of field conditions, and make sure installations are code compliant, on schedule, and built to the Walsh standards.

The ideal candidate has extensive hands-on commercial experience, a proven record of leading crews, and the technical knowledge to interpret project drawings on their own and direct the installation from layout through final inspection. Foremen plan ahead, manage manpower and materials across multiple sites, develop Leads, and communicate clearly with superintendents, inspectors, and project managers.
