About the role
Rough-in and finishing will move at a pace we can predict, and the estimating team will be using your real production rates to price the next job. You'll report to the VP, work directly with the project coordinator, and have the foremen on every site reporting to you.
What you'll do
- Own manpower across all active sites: forecast crew needs from the schedule, move people between projects, and keep the apprentice-to-journeyman mix workable on every job.
- Lead the foremen: set weekly production targets, walk sites regularly, and coach the ones who need it.
- Track labour hours against estimates by phase and project, and raise it early when a job is drifting.
- Standardize how we build: rough-in sequencing, prefab and material staging, QC gates, and closeout, so every site runs the same way.
- Feed real production rates and lessons learned back to estimating so the next bid reflects how we actually build.
- Plan around apprentice school blocks, vacations, and absences so no site gets caught short.
- Own field safety with the foremen: hazard assessments, toolbox talks, incident follow-up, and a culture where people speak up.
- Sit in on hiring, promotions, and performance conversations for field staff.
What we're looking for
Required
- Alberta Journeyman Electrician certificate with Red Seal endorsement.
- 5+ years in electrical construction with at least 3 years running crews as a foreman, general foreman, or superintendent.
- Experience with multifamily or commercial construction: rough-in, service and distribution, fire alarm, and finishing.
- Has tracked labour hours or productivity against an estimate and acted on the numbers.
- Comfortable with spreadsheets
- Valid Alberta driver's licence; you'll be on sites across Calgary most days.
Nice to have
- Experience with prefab or assembly-line approaches to suite rough-in.
- Experience working with project schedules (AutoCADD)
- Prior involvement in estimating or change-order pricing.
