•       Pull, terminate, and label wire and cable through conduit systems; ensure proper fill ratios and NEC-compliant installation

•       Install and terminate panels, subpanels, breakers, and service equipment per one-line diagrams and panel schedules

•       Install lighting fixtures, switches, receptacles, GFCI/AFCI devices, and specialty equipment per drawings and specifications

•       Read and interpret electrical construction drawings including one-line diagrams, riser diagrams, panel schedules, and detail sheets without supervision

•       Perform layout and establish conduit runs, device locations, and panel placement from electrical drawings

•       Supervise and direct apprentice electricians assigned to your crew; ensure work quality, code compliance, and safe practices

•       Perform and verify self-inspection of completed work prior to rough-in and trim inspections; coordinate AHJ inspection readiness

•       Identify and communicate RFIs, code conflicts, and drawing discrepancies to foreman or project management

•       Maintain a clean, organized, and OSHA-compliant work area; lead by example on site safety and housekeeping

•       Participate in daily toolbox talks and site safety meetings; enforce OSHA 29 CFR 1926 electrical standards and site-specific safety plans

•       Support material takeoffs, staging, and waste reduction as directed by foreman or superintendent


QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

Required:

•       Valid journeyman-level electrical license or credential for the applicable South Carolina jurisdiction(s)
