About The Position

Trio Electric is a leading electrical design, construction, and service firm in Texas, specializing in commercial and light industrial projects. They offer in-house professional engineering and 24/7 emergency services. At Trio Electric, employees work on large commercial construction projects in Houston with support from advanced planning, BIM coordination, and prefab operations. The company emphasizes efficient work processes, minimizing material searching, waiting times, and rework.

The Foreman, also known as a Project Leader, is responsible for managing an electrical job from beginning to end. This includes overseeing labor, materials, and production for one or more projects. The role requires technical expertise in electrical wiring and equipment installation and troubleshooting, as well as leading multiple Crew Leaders. Key duties involve creating and maintaining a 3-week look-ahead schedule, planning on-site labor, acting as the primary field contact with the general contractor's superintendent, and resolving jobsite issues. Escalation is reserved for matters beyond the job's immediate control, such as significant equipment delays or issues with the office or customer. Additional duties and travel may be required, and the job description does not limit management's ability to assign other tasks.
