Ethos is a growth-oriented company. Our roots go back to servicing small distributed infrastructure using technology from the early 2000s. Today, our passion for individual and company growth has driven us to success across telecom, commercial electrical systems, and utility-scale energy sectors.

We are passionate about driving impact and finding solutions that create amazing outcomes for our customers, our employees, and Ethos. We call this “win-win-win.” Every day we relentlessly strive to live up to our three core values: “win-win-win”, personal accountability, and solutions-oriented. Our solutions orientation means we always find a way to deliver for the customer—but without ever sacrificing quality or safety.

We call this “the Ethos Way.”

In this role, we are searching for a high-level strategic and operational leader who commands the job site, embodies the Ethos Way, and can seamlessly orchestrate multiple crews, subcontractors, and schedule logistics as we scale our commercial electrical construction footprint. Buckle up!

The Commercial Electrical Superintendent has four general responsibilities:

  Champion a world-class safety culture and zero-incident environment while enforcing strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), OSHA standards, and local municipal requirements.
• Resource & Schedule Optimization:
  Direct manpower allocation, coordinate equipment and material logistics, manage subcontractors, and closely track labor productivity against aggressive project milestones.

• Material Management & Site Logistics:

• Estimating Support & Scope Evaluation:
  Partner with the pre-construction and bidding teams to provide expert field data for upcoming projects; assist in evaluating site conditions, vetting labor-hour assumptions, identifying potential constructability challenges, and assessing site-specific requirements to ensure highly accurate project pricing and competitive bids.
• Inspections & Quality Control:
  Conduct rigorous quality assurance walks, coordinate final testing and commissioning of electrical systems, and manage the local municipal and utility inspection sign-off processes.
• Financial & Progress Reporting:
