Electrician - Site Supervisor (Foreman)

Kraun Electric

5d•Onsite

About The Position

As a 309-A Electrician and Site Supervisor (foreman), this position is responsible for projects that require a small to no crew; therefore, the expectation is to work full-time with the tools. As the point person for the on-site team, you will lead project completion with the project manager. You are responsible for coordinating operations and overseeing workers at construction sites. You must be well-organized and goal-oriented, and have extensive electrical knowledge in the ICI sectors (Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional). You can expect to work on projects such as restaurants, tenant fit-outs, retrofits, shutdowns, and existing facilities requiring renovations and modifications. Due to the size of the projects, a site supervisor often has multiple projects underway simultaneously. At Kraun Electric, we drive for results, take pride in our professionalism, and value the people on our team. We are good at what we do, and who we work alongside each day is critically important. We aim to provide a work environment where individuals feel safe, know they matter, belong and can grow professionally.
