Omega Contractors•Austin, TX

About The Position

Omega Contractors is hiring Electrical Helpers / Spotters for industrial/commercial work. You’ll support electricians by keeping work areas safe, controlled, and ready—spotting lifts/equipment movement, staging materials, managing housekeeping, and handling basic support tasks. This role is about safety, awareness, and crew support while you learn the jobsite environment.

Requirements

OSHA 10 minimum (or obtain quickly per Omega policy).
Ability to follow directions, communicate clearly, and stay alert.
Able to operate scissor lifts (or obtain certification); comfortable working around lifts/equipment.
Physically able to stand/walk long periods, lift/carry materials, and work indoors/outdoors at industrial sites.
Willing to supply basic hand tools appropriate to level (as required).

Nice To Haves

Any construction, warehouse, rigging support, or industrial site experience.
Spotter training / lift awareness, fall protection training (preferred).
Interest in advancing into the Electrical Apprentice role.

Responsibilities

Spot scissor/boom lifts, forklifts, and material movement per site rules (line-of-sight, radios, hand signals as trained).
Maintain exclusion zones (barricade/tape/signage), protect the public/other trades, and keep paths clear.
Watch for hazards: overhead work, pinch points, swing radius, trip hazards, rotating equipment, and restricted areas.
Use stop-work authority: call it out early and immediately if conditions change or if anything becomes unsafe.
Stage materials by area (conduit, fittings, strut, hardware, fasteners, consumables) so the crew isn’t waiting.
Run parts/tools efficiently (gang box, laydown, material trailers) and communicate shortages early.
Manage cords/hoses/cables to reduce trip hazards and keep walk paths open.
Keep the work area clean, organized, and turnover-ready (trash, scrap, packaging, sweeping as required).
Set up/maintain barricades, signage, floor protection, and clean work fronts.
Protect finished work (covers, caps, keeping areas clean).
Assist with handling/staging conduit, strut, tray components, and hardware (no independent installation decisions).
Hold ladders/materials, assist with measuring, and support layout prep under direction.
Assist with simple, supervised tasks like sorting, labeling materials, and prepping hardware kits.
Take direction well, communicate clearly, and confirm instructions (“repeat-back” when needed).
Coordinate with other trades to reduce conflicts and keep access controlled.
Maintain a professional jobsite presence—no drama, no shortcuts.
