About this position

Lead Electrical Mechanic – 10+ Years Experience


Overview

We’re looking for an experienced Lead Electrical Mechanic with 10+ years of commercial electrical experience who can lead by example while remaining hands-on in the field. This is a working lead position, not a supervisory-only role. We need someone who knows their trade, can take ownership of their work, guide other electricians when needed, and keep projects moving without constant direction.


Duties

  • Perform hands-on electrical installations on commercial job sites
  • Run conduit (EMT, rigid), pull wire, and complete terminations
  • Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and electrical drawings
  • Handle electrical layout and installation from start to finish
  • Install panels, switchgear, devices, fixtures, and other electrical equipment
  • Troubleshoot electrical systems and resolve field issues
  • Provide direction and guidance to other electricians while working alongside them
  • Coordinate with foremen, project managers, and other trades to keep work progressing
  • Maintain quality workmanship, productivity, and job site safety


Qualifications

  • 10+ years of commercial electrical experience
  • Strong conduit bending, installation, and electrical layout skills
  • Ability to read blueprints and execute work independently
  • Experience with panels, switchgear, terminations, and troubleshooting
  • Previous experience as a Lead Mechanic or senior-level electrician preferred
  • Ability to direct a small crew while remaining actively involved in installations
  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills


We're looking for a true working lead — someone who can take charge when needed but isn't afraid to pick up their tools and work alongside the crew. If you're a strong mechanic who leads by example and knows how to get the job done right, we want to hear from you.
