What are the responsibilities and job description for the Foreman Electrician position at Delta Wye Electric?
Full-Time | Competitive Pay Full Benefits | Stable, Long-Term Work
Delta Wye Electric is looking for a Working Foreman — someone who leads a crew and wears a toolbelt. You're on the job site shoulder-to-shoulder with your team, bending pipe, pulling wire, and making sure the work gets done right. If you want a clipboard-only role, this isn't it. If you want to actually build things and lead people who build things, keep reading.
Delta Wye Electric has been in business since 1980. We're a family-owned, merit shop industrial electrical contractor with over 100 employees across Arizona and California. Our clients are Fortune 500 manufacturers and industrial facilities — real projects with real scope, not punch-list work. We're licensed in 20 states and growing, which means more opportunity for the right people.
A lot of our work is long-term relationships with existing clients — returning to facilities we know for upgrades, expansions, and new equipment. That means steady work, not chasing the next bid every few weeks.
- Run jobs. You'll manage smaller industrial projects end to end — plan the work, coordinate materials, lead your crew, and deliver on budget and on schedule.
- Lead a crew. You'll supervise and mentor electrical trainees and journeymen. You set the standard on quality, safety, and work ethic.
- Be the client's go-to. You're the face of Delta Wye on site. You communicate progress, solve problems, and build the kind of relationships that keep clients calling us back.
- Work with your hands. This is a working foreman position. You're installing, troubleshooting, bending conduit, and doing the work alongside your team — not watching from a trailer.
- Own safety. You lead toolbox talks, enforce safety protocols, conduct JSAs, and make sure everyone goes home the way they came in.
- Proven experience in industrial electrical construction — not just residential or light commercial.
- You've supervised crews before and people respect your leadership.
- Strong knowledge of NEC code and electrical construction techniques.
- Proficient in conduit bending, wiring, terminations, and working with industrial power systems.
- Comfortable reading and interpreting blueprints, schematics, and technical specs.
- You can identify scope changes and document them clearly.
- Current OSHA 30 certification (MEWP, Forklift, First Aid/CPR are a plus).
- Willing to travel occasionally — most work is in the Phoenix metro, but some projects require out-of-town or out-of-state travel.
- Physically capable of the work — ladders, lifts up to 85 feet, trenching, carrying 50 lbs, working in Arizona heat and weather.
- Competitive pay — based on your experience and what you bring to the table
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off
- Tuition reimbursement and professional development
- Referral bonus program
- A company that's been around for 45 years and isn't going anywhere
- A clear path to advance — we promote from within and invest in developing our people
We're not a body shop. We don't treat foremen like interchangeable parts. You'll work on meaningful industrial projects for clients who know your name, with a team that has your back, for a company that's been doing this longer than most competitors have existed.
If you're a foreman who's tired of being undervalued, overworked on garbage projects, or stuck at a company that doesn't invest in its people — let's talk.
