About the role
Build What Others Can't. Lead Where It Counts. We're looking for a seasoned Electrical Superintendent who knows commercial retail construction inside and out — someone who has walked hundreds of jobsites, commanded crews, and delivered results when it matters most. The right candidate doesn't just show up — they show up prepared, consistent, and committed to the team around them. If you've spent the last decade-plus making things happen in the field and you're ready to take that experience nationwide, this role was built for you. This is a salaried position with a competitive compensation based on the strength of your experience and what you bring to the table.
Responsibilities
- Lead all on-site electrical operations — conduit systems, feeders, switchgear, panels, transformers, lighting, controls, and specialty systems
- Review drawings, one-lines, panel schedules, specifications, and submittals; catch constructability concerns before they become problems
- Ensure full compliance with NEC requirements and local AHJ standards at every stage
- Coordinate with utility providers for temporary power, permanent service, and inspections
- Partner closely with Project Managers, general contractors, engineers, and subcontractors — success here is built on collaboration, not silos
- Build and manage master schedules; maintain two-week look-ahead schedules specific to electrical sequencing
- Coordinate manpower, materials, and equipment to hit every milestone — your crew counts on you to have it right
- Administer and enforce the project safety program — lead by example, every single day
- Conduct safety meetings, job hazard analyses, and weekly production meetings
- Maintain as-built drawings, daily reports, and full project documentation
- Track and follow up on RFIs, submittals, and shop drawings
- Mentor apprentices and junior supervisors — a great team player builds more great team players
Requirements
- 10+ years of commercial electrical construction experience, with a strong focus on retail locations and ground-up commercial projects
- Proven track record of field leadership — you've managed multi-level crews and delivered projects on time, on budget, and to spec
- Demonstrated dependability: you follow through, you communicate, and your team never wonders where you stand
- A true team player who collaborates effectively with Project Managers, GCs, inspectors, subcontractors, and field crews — and earns their respect
- Valid State Electrical Journeyman or Master License (required)
- Deep working knowledge of NEC and commercial electrical systems
- Experience managing inspections, utility coordination, and AHJ relationships
- Ability to read and interpret electrical construction drawings and specifications without hand-holding
- Experience with distribution centers, retail spaces, fueling stations, or similar commercial facility types is a strong plus
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Ability to pass background check and pre-employment drug screening
- Willingness and ability to travel nationwide up to 85% — this role goes where the work is
