• Maintain tools, materials, and an organized work area while following established quality and 5S standards.
• For senior-level assignments, review drawings for constructability, support root cause investigations, recommend process improvements, and help prevent rework.
• Train and mentor junior electricians and apprentices when assigned.

• Ability to safely use hand tools, power tools, multimeters, and other electrical test equipment.
• Understanding of conductor routing, wire labeling, terminations, torque requirements, and electrical installation quality.
• Ability to recognize electrical hazards, drawing discrepancies, defective workmanship, and material issues.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with team members.
