The Electrical Installation Manager oversees day-to-day low-voltage and instrumentation installation activities on industrial construction projects ensuring work is completed safely in compliance with applicable electrical codes and client standards and aligned with project plans. This role serves as the primary field lead for low-voltage subcontractors and instrumentation technicians providing technical direction mentoring and coordination with company and client safety teams to drive safe high-quality installations.
Key Responsibilities
Oversee low-voltage subcontractor installation of control instrumentation and communication circuits ensuring work meets design specifications NEC/NFPA requirements and project quality standards.
Perform regular field inspections and audits of low-voltage installations to verify code compliance workmanship quality labeling and adherence to project standards and manufacturer guidelines.
Mentor instrumentation technicians in basic circuit theory point-to-point wiring verification loop checks and functional testing of control and instrumentation circuits.
Lead troubleshooting activities for low-voltage control and instrumentation circuits guiding technicians through systematic fault isolation meter usage and documentation of findings and corrective actions.
Partner with company and client safety teams to plan and enforce electrical safety practices including LOTO procedures arc-flash boundaries PPE requirements and energized work restrictions.
Conduct and/or participate in toolbox talks pre-task plans and job hazard analyses focused on electrical and low-voltage work scopes.
Verify site readiness prior to testing and commissioning ensuring terminations labeling grounding and device installation are complete and documented.
Maintain accurate records of installation progress inspection findings punch items and corrective actions; provide routine status updates to project managers and construction managers.
Safety and Compliance Focus
Ensure all technical resources follow company client and regulatory electrical safety protocols at all times including appropriate PPE tool usage and work practices.
Verify compliance with NEC NFPA 70E and site-specific standards for low-voltage installations grounding bonding and equipment clearances.
Escalate safety concerns promptly lead immediate corrective actions in the field and participate in incident investigations as required by company and client procedures.
Required Qualifications
Candidate must hold a valid Master Electrician license in the state where the project is located. Prior industrial construction experience with low-voltage systems control wiring and instrumentation circuits in manufacturing process or heavy industrial environments.
Strong knowledge of NEC NFPA and industrial electrical standards with hands-on experience installing and inspecting low-voltage and control systems.
Proven ability to read and interpret electrical plans one-lines schematics loop drawings and installation details for control and instrumentation systems.
Demonstrated experience leading or supervising electricians technicians or subcontractors on active job sites including coordination of daily work activities.
Solid understanding of electrical safety practices including LOTO arc-flash and energized work rules and experience working with corporate and client safety teams.
Strong communication skills for directing field crews collaborating with project stakeholders and documenting issues inspections and test results.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with building automation industrial controls or process instrumentation (PLC/DCS/BMS) environments.
Background in functional testing loop checks and commissioning of control and instrumentation systems on industrial projects.
Familiarity with project scheduling and tracking tools (e.g. Smartsheet or similar) to align field activities with project milestones.
Prior experience in a supervisory or foreman-level role responsible for low-voltage or instrumentation installations.
Work Environment & Expectations
Primarily field-based role spending the majority of time on active construction and industrial sites overseeing installations and technician activities.
May support multiple projects or areas within a single large site requiring strong time management and coordination across crews and subcontractors.
Requires flexibility to work around plant and construction schedules including occasional evenings weekends or overtime to meet critical milestones.
Project Length
18 to 24 months
Compensation & Benefits
Pay: $100000 - $130000 per year
Health benefits available on day one of employment
