Lead Electrician

Our client is looking for a Lead Electrician who is accountable for running assigned electrical work in the field from mobilization through completion. This role creates value by delivering safe, code-compliant, high-quality work, keeping jobs moving on schedule, leading helpers and apprentices effectively, communicating job status clearly, and minimizing callbacks and rework.

Job Execution and Field Leadership

• Lead assigned jobs in the field and take ownership for execution, workmanship, and day-to-day progress.
• Review the scope of work, assess actual field conditions, and adjust installation approach as needed while keeping leadership informed of meaningful changes.
• Complete work to code, company standards, and customer expectations.
• Maintain momentum on the job and make sound field decisions that keep work moving without sacrificing quality.

Schedule and Production Management

• Manage daily production against the expected timeline for the job.
• Coordinate labor, tools, and materials needed to complete work efficiently.
• Flag scope issues, labor shortages, material gaps, or site constraints early so schedule impacts can be addressed before they become failures.
• Balance speed with workmanship, recognizing that finishing fast only matters when the work is right.

Quality Control and Callback Prevention

• Inspect completed work before leaving the site to verify quality, completeness, and code compliance.
• Check the work of helpers and apprentices and correct issues in real time.
• Confirm materials, devices, connections, tools, and cleanup are complete before job closeout or transition.
• Reduce avoidable rework, missed items, and callbacks by using disciplined self-checks and field oversight.

Safety and Compliance

• Lead safe work practices on every assigned job.
• Ensure proper PPE, lockout/tagout, hazard awareness, barricades, and site‑specific safety requirements are followed.
• Maintain a safe work area for crew members, customers, and other trades.
• Stop unsafe work and correct unsafe behavior immediately.

Reporting and Communication

• Provide timely field updates to leadership on job progress, delays, material needs, schedule risks, and completion status.
• Submit or support accurate work orders, labor reporting, and job notes as required.
• Communicate clearly with the office and leadership so customer expectations, billing support, and scheduling decisions stay aligned with field reality.
• Escalate major issues early rather than letting the office or customer find out late.

Helper and Apprentice Development

• Direct the work of assigned helpers and apprentices in the field.
• Teach proper installation methods, safe work habits, and jobsite expectations.
• Hold assigned crew members accountable for attendance, work quality, pace, and conduct.
• Develop apprentices toward greater independence while protecting job quality and safety.

• Journeyman or Master Electrician capability preferred, with strong field leadership experience.
• Strong knowledge of commercial, industrial, and service electrical work.
• Able to read plans, assess field conditions, and identify material and labor needs.
• Able to lead helpers and apprentices while maintaining quality and safety.
• Strong judgment, accountability, and communication in fast‑moving field conditions.
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record preferred.
