Lead Electrician
About The Position
This is a full time position with AEPS Electric, a 23-year-old, licensed New Jersey electrical contractor specializing in commercial and industrial solar. The company is looking for a working Site Supervisor to lead their second crew—someone who takes pride in craftsmanship, knows how to lead people, and wants to grow with a tight, experienced team. This is a hands-on leadership role, not a clipboard-only position, where the individual will be working in the field while supervising a small crew on large, interesting projects. The team consists of 11 field electricians and 4 office staff. The Project Manager and Field Supervisor both have over 20 years with the company, and the PM is a former Field Supervisor who understands the field and supports crews. It is a tight-knit group that encourages learning, growth, and accountability, working on big projects with small crews, offering variety, challenge, and pride in the work. Changing job sites keep the work interesting and engaging. AEPS Electric trusts experienced leaders, supports its crews, and believes good work speaks for itself.
