Langley, BC, Canada

$42.00 - $58.00 Hourly

Electrical Foreman – Institutional & Commercial Construction
For large, long‑term high school and middle school projects in Langley, as well as Institutional, commercial and industrial projects throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

Who We Are
Since 1987, our company has specialized in institutional, commercial and industrial electrical construction.

We are based in Abbotsford, B.C., with projects throughout the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, including Langley, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, Delta, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and Squamish.

We currently have two large school projects in Langley, a new indoor soccer facility, and several other institutional and industrial projects underway throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. We also have an upcoming large industrial project in Squamish.

About The Position
We are looking for experienced Electrical Foremen who want long‑term positions and the opportunity to take ownership of challenging, high‑quality projects.

This position is for someone who can do more than install electrical work. We are looking for leaders who can plan ahead, organize manpower and materials, communicate with the project team, and efficiently lead a crew while maintaining our standards for quality and safety.

Our Foremen are an important part of our management team. For the right individuals, there are opportunities to advance into larger Foreman, General Foreman and Superintendent roles.

Our work is primarily institutional, commercial and industrial — not residential. No UBC, Vancouver Airport or downtown Vancouver core projects.
