Electrical Helper​/Spotter

Overview

Omega Contractors LLC — Electrical Helper / Spotter (Entry Level / Pre-Apprentice)

Position Summary Omega Contractors is hiring Electrical Helpers / Spotters for industrial/commercial work. You’ll support electricians by keeping work areas safe, controlled, and ready—spotting lifts/equipment movement, staging materials, managing housekeeping, and handling basic support tasks. This role is about safety, awareness, and crew support while you learn the jobsite environment.

• Spotter / Safety Watch (Primary)
  • Spot scissor/boom lifts, forklifts, and material movement per site rules (line-of-sight, radios, hand signals as trained).
  • Maintain exclusion zones (barricade/tape/signage), protect the public/other trades, and keep paths clear.
  • Watch for hazards: overhead work, pinch points, swing radius, trip hazards, rotating equipment, and restricted areas.
  • Use stop-work authority: call it out early and immediately if conditions change or if anything becomes unsafe.

• Material & Tool Readiness
  • Stage materials by area (conduit, fittings, strut, hardware, fasteners, consumables) so the crew isn’t waiting.
  • Run parts/tools efficiently (gang box, laydown, material trailers) and communicate shortages early.
  • Manage cords/hoses/cables to reduce trip hazards and keep walk paths open.

• Work Area Setup & Housekeeping
  • Keep the work area clean, organized, and turnover-ready (trash, scrap, packaging, sweeping as required).
  • Set up/maintain barricades, signage, floor protection, and clean work fronts.
  • Protect finished work (covers, caps, keeping areas clean).

• Basic Support Tasks (Non-Electrical / As Assigned)
  • Assist with handling/staging conduit, strut, tray components, and hardware (no independent installation decisions).
  • Hold ladders/materials, assist with measuring, and support layout prep under direction.
  • Assist with simple, supervised tasks like sorting, labeling materials, and prepping hardware kits.

• Communication & Team Execution
  • Take direction well, communicate clearly, and confirm instructions ("repeat-back" when needed).
  • Coordinate with other trades to reduce conflicts and keep access controlled.
  • Maintain a professional jobsite presence—no drama, no shortcuts.

• Omega “First-Time-Right” Support Standard (Helper Level)
  • Work areas are safe, clean, and ready for electricians to install “first-time-right.”
  • Materials are staged before they’re needed (minimize “waiting on material”).
  • Barricades and exclusion zones are maintained correctly—no one walks into danger zones.
  • At shift end: area is clean, tools accounted for, materials organized for tomorrow.

• Safety Expectations (Non-Negotiable)
  • OSHA/site compliance, PPE, housekeeping, and stop-work authority.
  • Understand and respect barricades, approach limits, and controlled energy areas (no unauthorized entry).
  • Lift safety: stay alert, never distract operators, and follow spotter rules every time.
  • Report near-misses, hazards, and incidents immediately.

• Performance & Accountability (This is what “great” looks like)
  • Keeps the crew moving: minimal idle time caused by missing tools/materials.
  • Controls the work zone: clear communication, clean paths, correct barricades.
  • Sees problems early (access issues, congestion, missing parts) and escalates fast.
  • Reliable attendance, on-time, ready to work—every day.

• Required Qualifications
  • OSHA 10 minimum (or obtain quickly per Omega policy).
  • Ability to follow directions, communicate clearly, and stay alert.
  • Able to operate scissor lifts (or obtain certification); comfortable working around lifts/equipment.
  • Physically able to stand/walk long periods, lift/carry materials, and work indoors/outdoors at industrial sites.
  • Willing to supply basic hand tools appropriate to level (as required).

• Preferred Qualifications
  • Any construction, warehouse, rigging support, or industrial site experience.
  • Spotter training / lift awareness, fall protection training (preferred).
  • Interest in advancing into the Electrical Apprentice role.

• Helper → Apprentice
  • Demonstrate safety discipline, zone control, and material readiness.
  • Show consistent reliability, coachability, and quality habits.
  • Progression target: move into Apprentice track once you consistently support execution without supervision.

Safety first, spec compliant behaviors, reliable attendance, team attitude, and strong awareness.

No-shows, unsafe behavior, ignoring barricades/exclusion zones, poor attitude, drama.

Industrial/commercial sites, fast schedules, heights/lifts, PPE, and strict standards.
