Job Description

A day in the life

By 7:00 a.m., you’re on site with drawings in hand, mapping out conduit paths across a commercial or light industrial project. You plan offsets and concentric bends, verify room elevations, and review the one-line before leading a quick huddle with your crew. Through the morning, you’re bending EMT, IMC, and Rigid with hand, mechanical, and electric benders—laying in picture-perfect saddles, back-to-backs, and long sweeps. After lunch, you pull feeders through conduit and trays, set and terminate a panel and transformer, hang lighting, and commission controls. When an unexpected fault appears, you track it down with minimal supervision, all while keeping the install aligned to NEC, OSHA, and local specs. Before you leave at 3:30 p.m., you coach an apprentice through a tricky layout and sync with the foreman and other MEP trades to keep the schedule tight.

What you’ll do

• Install, maintain, and troubleshoot commercial electrical systems in office, retail, medical, warehouse, and similar environments.
• Expertly measure, bend, and route conduit (EMT, IMC, Rigid), including complex bends: saddles, offsets, concentric, and back-to-back.
• Interpret electrical schematics, architectural blueprints, one-line diagrams, and technical layouts to plan circuitry and equipment placement.
• Install, wire, and terminate panels, switchgear, transformers, lighting, control systems, and related devices.
• Pull wire and feed cables through conduit runs, cable trays, and building structures efficiently and safely.
• Diagnose, test, and repair electrical issues in commercial systems with minimal supervision.
• Maintain strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), OSHA standards, and local job specifications.
• Mentor apprentices/helpers and coordinate with foremen, project managers, and other MEP trades; work independently or lead small crews.

What you’ll bring

• 6+ years of hands-on commercial electrical field experience.
• Proven mastery in conduit bending/installation and confident blueprint/one-line reading.
• Your own standard hand tools of the trade.
• A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Physical readiness: climb ladders, operate scissor lifts, work in tight spaces, and routinely lift up to 50 lbs.
• Professionalism: clear communication with project managers and clients; reliable, punctual, and safety-minded.

Schedule and travel

• Contract-to-perm opportunity based out of Emerson, NJ (home office).
• Projects within a 60-mile radius.
• Typical hours: 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
