• Coordinate electrical work with mechanical, instrumentation and controls (I&C), HVAC, process piping, and other construction disciplines.
• Participate in daily coordination meetings, construction planning, and schedule reviews.
• Identify potential construction conflicts, resolve field issues, and communicate project risks to management.

Scheduling, Quality & Project Execution

• Develop and manage short-term look-ahead schedules and manpower projections.
• Monitor construction progress, productivity, and installation quality.
• Review electrical drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, and applicable project documentation.
• Ensure electrical installations comply with NEC, NFPA 70E, project specifications, and applicable industry standards.
• Coordinate inspections, testing, energization planning, and commissioning activities.
• Support project managers with progress reporting, change management, and project documentation.
• Identify opportunities to improve productivity, minimize rework, and maintain project schedules.

Safety & Compliance

• Promote a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and site-specific safety requirements.
• Coordinate electrical safety activities, including lockout/tagout (LOTO), energized work controls, and arc flash protection.
• Conduct field safety observations, pre-task planning, and job hazard analyses.
• Ensure subcontractors follow established safety procedures and project requirements.
• Work closely with site safety professionals to identify and mitigate construction hazards.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 7 years of electrical construction experience, including significant experience in a superintendent, general foreman, or equivalent field leadership role.
• Large-scale industrial construction experience is mandatory.
• Proven experience supervising electrical installations on complex, multimillion-dollar construction projects.
• Strong knowledge of industrial power distribution, switchgear, transformers, MCCs, conduit systems, cable tray, and electrical equipment installation.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple crews, subcontractors, and construction work fronts.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, specifications, and construction schedules.
• Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA regulations, and electrical construction best practices.
• Experience coordinating with project managers, engineers, owners, and other construction trades.
• Strong leadership, communication, planning, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced construction environment while maintaining safety, quality, and productivity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or life sciences construction experience.
• Experience with GMP-regulated facilities, cleanrooms, laboratories, or pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
• Experience on large greenfield construction projects, facility expansions, or complex industrial renovations.
• Familiarity with electrical commissioning, startup, and turnover requirements.
• Experience working with major electrical contractors or EPC firms.
• Electrical trade apprenticeship, journeyman, or master electrician background.
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification.
• Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, Primavera P6, or similar construction management software.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a hands-on electrical construction leader with a proven track record of successfully executing complex industrial projects. This individual should be comfortable managing large electrical crews, coordinating multiple trades, and working directly with project leadership to maintain schedules and resolve field challenges.

Candidates with pharmaceutical or life sciences experience will receive strong consideration. However, proven leadership experience on large-scale industrial projects is the primary requirement, and candidates from sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing, power generation, advanced manufacturing, or other complex industrial facilities are encouraged to apply.
