Full Job Posting

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead 1–2 crews on public works infrastructure projects — electrical scope from layout through completion.
  • Coordinate daily with civil foremen, superintendents, prime contractors, and other trades to keep the project moving.
  • Enforce all safety standards every shift — Cal/OSHA, MUTCD, Caltrans Code of Safe Practices, and HLE's own safety program.
  • Run daily tailgate meetings, manage traffic control plans, and always maintain situational awareness for the crew.
  • Submit complete and timely field documentation through Procore — DCRs, photos, AS-Builts, RFIs, material orders, and more — from your phone or tablet, in real time.
  • Manage materials, tools, equipment, and assigned company vehicles.
  • Read electrical plans, single-lines, and schematics fluently, flag plan errors and constructability issues to the office in real time.
  • Mentor crew members and Electrician Trainees — teach the trade and build the next Foreman from within your crew.
  • Represent HLE professionally with public agency inspectors and our clients on the jobsite.
  • WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • Required at hire:
  • Current and active California State General Electrician Certification (DIR). Electrician Trainee (ET) cards do not qualify.
  • OSHA 30 (Construction), NFPA 70E, and current CPR / First Aid.
  • Public works infrastructure electrical experience — traffic signals, roadway lighting, ITS, conduit and conductor systems.
  • Field leadership experience running a crew on California public works projects.
  • Comfortable using a phone or tablet for daily work — Procore, digital tailgate meetings, timecard entry, digital safety forms.
  • Valid California Driver's License (Class C required, Class A preferred). Must be insurable under our commercial auto policy.
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Required within 6 months of hire:
  • LiUNA Local 1184 mandatory training — completion of all union-required training modules and certifications. HLE coordinates scheduling and supports completion.
  • Preferred:
  • Bilingual English / Spanish.
  • Traffic Control / Flagger Certification, Confined Space, Aerial Work Platform, Forklift, Railroad Worker Protection.
  • Prior experience working on civil-led project sites alongside grading, paving, and underground crews.
  • Honest expectation-setting — please read before applying:
  • This work is performed outdoors, year-round, in California heat, cold, wind, and rain, often around live traffic on state and federal roadways and on heavy civil and infrastructure jobsites. If your experience has been entirely indoors — commercial buildings, industrial facilities, or interior environments — this work environment will be a significant change.
  • This is a stationary California-based role. We are not looking for traveling electricians passing through. If you are seeking a per-diem-driven traveler position, this is not the right fit.
  • WHO THRIVES IN THIS SEAT
  • Successful candidates:
  • Understand that this is a leadership role, not just a senior electrician position
  • Take ownership of safety, quality, coordination, and documentation
  • Are motivated to develop crews and grow into higher leadership roles
  • Can manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously in a fast-paced field environment
