• • Direct and supervise a general laborer crew: assign tasks, train on safe procedures, monitor productivity and quality
• • Read and interpret structural drawings and technical documentation; coordinate with electrical crews and subcontractors on-site
• • Conduct routine inspections, troubleshoot PV/electrical components, perform repairs and ensure code and safety compliance

• • OSHA 10 required (OSHA 30 preferred); strong safety focus and experience enforcing jobsite safety
• • Ability to read blueprints, structural drawings and electrical schematics; experienced with electrical troubleshooting
