Build Something That Matters
At ABLe, successful projects depend on strong field leadership. We’re looking for an Electrical Superintendent who knows how to turn project plans into results leading people, coordinating work, solving problems, and keeping projects moving safely and efficiently.
In this role, you’ll oversee field operations for assigned electrical construction projects, working closely with Project Managers, Foremen, General Contractors, subcontractors, and other trades to deliver quality work on schedule and within budget.
We need a hands-on leader who understands the realities of the jobsite, plans ahead, communicates clearly, and takes ownership of results. Someone who can anticipate challenges before they become delays, hold teams accountable, and create an environment where safety, craftsmanship, and teamwork come first.

- Develop and communicate weekly three-week look-ahead schedules and manpower projections.
- Partner with Project Managers to maintain project schedules, anticipate resource needs, identify potential delays, and implement corrective actions.

- Coordinate electrical work with low-voltage systems, structured cabling, security, telecommunications, HVAC, and other building systems.
- Identify design conflicts, constructability issues, and installation challenges early, coordinating solutions with Project Managers, engineers, vendors, and other stakeholders.
- Coordinate inspections, testing, system verification, commissioning, startup, punch-list completion, and project turnover.
- Ensure required inspections are properly supported by appropriately qualified personnel in accordance with applicable regulations and project requirements.
- Maintain working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC), applicable state and local requirements, and relevant industry standards.
Make Safety & Quality Non-Negotiable
- Promote a safety-first culture and enforce applicable OSHA requirements, company safety policies, customer requirements, and jobsite procedures.
