• Maintain a clean and organized work area.
• Enforce OSHA requirements, lockout/tagout procedures, and company safety policies.
• Train and assist electricians and apprentices as needed.
• Lead by example and maintain a productive, professional jobsite environment.

Qualifications

• Strong commercial and/or industrial electrical construction experience.
• Previous experience as a Foreman, Lead Electrician, or senior-level electrician preferred.

• Strong understanding of jobsite safety requirements.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to work at various project locations throughout the state.
• Willingness and ability to travel out of state for select projects is preferred.

This position is best suited for an experienced field electrician who can look at the plans, understand what needs to be built, organize the crew, and get the work installed correctly and efficiently.

This version makes it clear you’re looking for a field foreman, not an office/project-management foreman.

Got it. I’d make the role much more field-focused and remove the paperwork/project-management responsibilities.
