• Enforce job site safety with zero tolerance for shortcuts or non-compliance
• Ensure all installations meet or exceed code, quality standards, and inspection requirements
• Manage manpower planning, material flow, and tool utilization to maximize efficiency
• Solve problems in real time—field conditions, design gaps, manpower challenges, etc.
• Train and develop apprentices and journeymen; build a strong, reliable crew
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with leadership on progress, risks, and needs
• Keep jobs clean, organized, and inspection-ready at all times

Qualifications & Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in commercial and/or industrial electrical construction, with proven Foreman-level leadership

• Valid driver’s license and ability to reliably get to job sites
• Must be dependable, accountable, and take pride in your work

What Sets This Role Apart

• High-visibility projects with a steady pipeline of work
• Leadership that respects and supports strong Foremen
• Opportunity to run meaningful jobs—not just be another number
• A company culture built around performance, trust, and execution
