Job Description

Job Brief:

Control Tech is expanding into the Residential & Commercial Electrical division and we're looking for the person to support in building it.

The successful candidate will be licensed, already running service calls, have existing relationships and a track record of bringing in clients with the appetite to build something they own the outcome of, backed by an established company's resources instead of starting from scratch.

You'll start hands-on: diagnosing, installing, running service calls, and doing the work yourself. But the real mandate is bigger; which is to create division's structure, pricing, and workflows. You can bring your book of business (or the instinct to build one fast), and potentially grow into the Team Lead role as the division scales.

• Represent Control Tech at local trad events, homeowner associations, and networking groups to generate brand visibility and leads.
• Ability to convert service calls into long-term client relationships through follow-up, reliability and proactive communication.

• Contribute to service structure, workflows, and pricing strategies
• Lead tools, trucks, and materials setup
• Lead hiring, training, and mentoring of electricians and apprentices
• Establish a culture of safety, accountability, and high standards

• Take ownership of results—not just assigned task

Required Skills/Qualifications:
