What this role is

First-line supervisor overseeing a crew of electricians and lineworkers performing installation and maintenance of power lines, cables, and substation equipment. At the Manager (Team Lead) (M1) level, the role owns a single team, day-to-day delivery and people issues, and drives team output and health. Direct people management of one team.

What this level does

Oversee daily operations of a single electrical crew on a work site, assigning apprentices and journeymen to installation, alteration, and repair tasks and confirming each is completed to spec
Supervise hands-on electrical work — conduit threading, coupling connections, wire and conduit sizing, buss feeder installation, and switchgear terminations — stepping in to troubleshoot circuits and equipment problems as they arise
Enforce electrical safety practices and NEC adherence on the crew, checking that lockout, PPE, and wiring standards are followed before energizing systems
Mentor and develop apprentices on the crew, teaching wiring, circuit, and diagnostic techniques and advising less experienced workers on the job
Track crew hours, materials, and tool needs for the assigned work area and report short-term progress against the day's schedule

Knowledge applied: Applies functional electrical expertise — wiring, circuits, conduit, and NEC practice — to run the daily work of one crew, still hands-on when troubleshooting.
Complexity & problem solving: Limited scope; resolves circuit, equipment, and installation problems using established practices and the code.
Collaboration & interaction: Daily interaction with crew members and peer supervisors on the work site.
Typical experience: Experienced journeyman-level electrician with some leadership exposure.

Skills at this level

Electrical crew supervision: — Assigns apprentices, journeymen, and master electricians to installation, alteration, and repair tasks, oversees daily crew operations, and takes responsibility for completing electrical work to spec.
NEC compliance and electrical safety enforcement: — Enforces best-practice electrical safety and National Electric Code adherence across crews, verifying wiring, lockout, and PPE standards before systems are energized.
Electrical work sign-off and inspection readiness: — Supervises and approves electrical work performed by journeymen and crews, ensures work is inspection-ready, and carries final sign-off accountability for electrical installations in the facility.
Electrical system planning and design oversight: — Plans and designs electrical systems and takes final field responsibility for projects — wire and conduit sizing, buss feeder and switchgear layout — rather than performing primarily hands-on work.
Circuit and equipment troubleshooting: — Diagnoses and directs resolution of problems in electrical circuits, systems, and equipment, reading test results from voltmeters, ohmmeters, and oscilloscopes to guide repair decisions.
Apprentice and journeyman development: — Mentors, trains, and advises less experienced electricians, structuring on-the-job learning toward independent execution, licensure, and inspection-readiness.
Cross-trade project coordination: — Sequences electrical rough-in and finish work with mechanical, framing, and low-voltage trades and coordinates with general contractors and inspectors to avoid rework.
Electrical labor and material budgeting: — Manages crew scheduling, labor hours, materials, and equipment needs against project and division budgets, tracking variance to margin targets.
Reading and interpreting electrical documentation: — Reads and interprets specifications, instructional manuals, work-site directions, and drawings to plan installations and confirm compliance.
Licensed-workforce capacity planning: — Sets crew staffing levels and skill mix, and sponsors apprenticeship and licensure pipelines to secure the journeyman and master capacity the electrical business requires.

Pay across the ladder

Electrical — median with , by . Real canon data.

National-base pricing — this family's function differential is pending review, so dollar levels are not function-adjusted (level-over-level % is unaffected).

Pay figures are modeled estimates from our market equation — level-differentiated, with honest-wide bands. They refresh as new leveling evidence lands; treat per-role dollars as directional.

Demand — is the field growing, or just turning over?

The Job Swatch

Electrical Supervisor

Electrical

The swatch is JobFrame's core primitive: a hueset deterministically by the role's superfunction, the profileKey as its color code, the level ladder, and a content fingerprint. Two swatches that look alike are alike.

Because every role carries computable coordinates, similarity, leveling, and pricing become measurable instead of arguable— the whole point of "Pantone for jobs."

Structural

structural@1

Where it sits— position in the work taxonomy + level (weighted Gower, level > function > focus).

Track: M
Superfunction: industrial_energy_operations
Function: skilled_trades
Family: electrical
Universal level: 1 / 8

Content

content@2

What it's about— a fingerprint over the role's tasks & capabilities.

Two roles can sit far apart structurally yet be close in content — that gap is itself a signal.

3-state matching

How any two swatches compare — a real distance in coordinate space, resolved to a calibrated verdict (never a fake "94% match").

How to read this profile

Every number here is traceable — to a named source, a stated method, and an as-of date — and each value is labeled by how we know it: observed from data, computed by a model, projected forward, or governed canon. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is invented to fill a gap.

The principles behind the numbers

Ranges, not false precision

Pay is P10 · median · P90, never a single misleading number.

Three honest states, never a fake %

Role matches resolve to confident / review / no-match — a calibrated verdict, not a made-up percentage.

Provenance on every value

Each number carries whether it's observed, computed, projected, or canon — so you always know how much to lean on it.

Gaps shown as gaps

When a figure isn't available at the grain you need, we say so — we don't fabricate a number to fill the cell.

Frozen, versioned editions

Pay and coordinate editions are pinned, so a comparison you make today still means the same thing next quarter.

Privacy by min-N

Any aggregate over people is suppressed below a minimum count, so no individual is identifiable.
