Job Description
LEAD ELECTRICIAN
Field Operations | Full-Time | Non-Exempt Where technical mastery meets real leadership — and the next stop is Foreman. We're looking for a Lead Electrician who's ready to do more than wire a panel — someone ready to lead a crew, own a jobsite, and build a career. This role is the bridge between the tools and the front office: hands-on when it counts, leading from the front always. If you're a licensed electrician with the instincts of a leader and the ambition to keep climbing, this is where that next chapter starts. Why This Role Matters As the senior field leader on assigned projects, you'll provide hands-on technical direction, supervise electrical crews, and coordinate daily field operations so work gets done safely, efficiently, on schedule, and to the highest standard of quality and code compliance. This isn't a purely administrative role — you're on the tools when needed, you lead from the front, and you earn your crew's respect through demonstrated competency and integrity. It's a natural stepping stone toward Foreman, Superintendent, or Project Manager for anyone who pairs technical excellence with leadership ambition. Our Core Values Trust is Our Foundation We build lasting relationships through integrity, accountability, transparency, and reliability — doing what we say, owning our mistakes, and treating every person the way we'd want to be treated. Always Learning, Always Teaching We pursue continuous improvement in everything we do and invest generously in the growth of the people around us. Teamwork is Our Edge We achieve exceptional results through collaboration, open communication, and genuine mutual support — the strongest outcomes come when we work together. Our Work is Our Proof We let the quality of our work, the professionalism of our conduct, and the results we deliver speak for themselves. What You'll Do- Lead, direct, and supervise electrical crews across commercial, industrial, and residential projects.
- Mentor Journeymen and Apprentices, turning hands-on demonstration into real career growth.
- Plan and sequence daily and weekly work to keep projects tracking to schedule.
- Own crew labor productivity and budget performance, catching variances before they become problems.
- Champion jobsite safety — daily toolbox talks, hazard walks, and zero-compromise enforcement.
- Serve as the technical and communication bridge between the crew and the Project Manager. What You Bring
- Licensed Journeyman or Master Electrician, current and in good standing.
- 7+ years of electrical construction experience with a track record of increasing responsibility.
- Demonstrated leadership or supervisory experience managing crews on commercial/industrial projects.
- Strong working knowledge of the NEC, blueprint reading, and field troubleshooting.
