Pay:
$28-$32/hour based on experience, plus overtime Company Summary We are a commercial electrical contractor serving the Southeast, delivering high-quality electrical work on new-construction and remodel projects. We run our jobs the right way: a skilled foreman anchored on each project, accurate planning, and clean, code-compliant installations that pass inspection the first time. We believe the people running the work in the field are the backbone of the business — not just labor, but trusted leaders. If you take pride in doing the job right, leading a crew well, and being the person the Superintendent counts on, this is the place for you. Job Summary The Foreman / Journeyman Electrician leads electrical work in the field on commercial new-construction and remodel projects. You will read and interpret commercial blueprints, schedule the work directly with the Superintendent, order the materials needed to keep the job moving, and supervise a small crew of two to four.

Troubleshoot field issues and make sound on-site decisions to keep work moving. Ensure all work passes inspection and meets quality standards before sign-off. Mentor apprentices and reinforce safe, correct work habits across the crew. What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months) Running your assigned project independently — on schedule, on budget, and to code.
