  • Planning & Scheduling

    • Participate in preconstruction and project scheduling sessions.

    • Implement project schedules and manage manpower and logistics.

    • Coordinate daily and weekly schedules with field teams.

    • Maintain effective communication with owners, engineers, vendors, and internal departments.

  • Site Safety & Compliance

    • Enforce OSHA, local, and company-specific safety protocols.

    • Conduct regular safety inspections and meetings.

    • Ensure immediate resolution of safety issues.

  • Team Management

    • Address personnel matters including hiring, transfers, and performance concerns.

  • Quality & Production Control

    • Ensure work meets specifications and project timelines.

    • Address productivity or quality concerns promptly.

    • Maintain high ethical standards across teams.

  • Documentation & Reporting

    • Complete daily reports, timesheet approvals, equipment logs, and labor reports.

    • Maintain cost control documentation and ensure accurate project tracking.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 5 years of electrical construction experience, including supervisory roles.

  • Experience with electrical scopes on solar (5MW+), WTP, or WWTP projects valued at $3M+.
