What this role is
Senior supervisor overseeing electrical line and substation crews, coordinating daily operations and mentoring first-line supervisors. At the Manager II (M2) level, the role owns an established team or sub-function, cross-project coordination and priorities, and drives group delivery and development. Manages a team; sometimes manages leads.
What this level does
- Lead a skilled crew of journeymen and junior leads across multiple work areas of a site, coordinating installation sequencing so switchgear, feeders, and branch circuits are ready in the right order
- Make field judgments within established methods on wire and conduit sizing, circuit troubleshooting, and repair approaches when work-site directions leave gaps
- Coordinate with other trades (mechanical, framing, low-voltage) on the site to sequence electrical rough-in and finish work without rework
- Own tactical outcomes for the crew — labor productivity, punch-list closure, and NEC-compliant sign-off readiness of the work under supervision
- Develop journeymen and lead apprentices, structuring on-the-job training toward independent execution and inspection-readiness
- Knowledge applied
- Applies deep field knowledge to make sizing, troubleshooting, and repair judgments within known factors across a skilled crew.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Exercises judgment within established methods where work-site directions leave gaps.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Coordinates cross-functionally with other trades and site leads.
- Typical experience
- 2–5 years leading electrical crews or in specialist journeyman/master roles.
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.
