THE OPPORTUNITY
Matchbox Consulting Group is partnering with a well-established Vancouver-based electrical contracting firm looking for an Electrical Foreman to lead a large multi-family wood-frame project in Vancouver.
Our client has been a trusted name in BC's new construction electrical space for over 40 years, specializing in mid- and low-rise multi-family residential. They are a smaller, owner-operated company that genuinely invests in their people through mentorship, apprenticeship pathways, and hands-on leadership development. The owner is directly involved in the business and in the growth of the team.
The project is an 86-unit multi-family wood-frame build in Vancouver. You will be reporting directly to the owner and working closely with the project manager to lead the crew from rough-in through to final turnover.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
- Lead a team of electricians and apprentices on site day to day.
- Oversee all phases of electrical work including layout, rough-in, finishing, and final turnover.
- Manage daily and weekly production goals and track progress using Procore.
- Run daily touchpoints and weekly huddles with the crew.
- Coordinate with project management and other trades to keep the project on schedule.
- Track materials, tools, and manpower to stay within budget.
- Mentor apprentices and support their development on site.
- Enforce safety standards and maintain a clean, organized job site.
WHO YOU ARE
- Red Seal Journeyperson Electrician with 5 or more years of electrical experience.
- At least 2 years as a foreman or lead hand on multi-family residential projects.
- Strong knowledge of electrical drawings, BC electrical code, and condo wiring systems.
- Experience running multi-family projects from start to finish.
- A self-starter with a type-A mentality who takes ownership and keeps things moving.
- Procore experience is a strong asset but not a dealbreaker.
- Junior candidates with the right attitude and trajectory will also be considered.
WHAT IS ON OFFER
- Extended health benefits per CBA
- Paid birthday off each year
- Structured site setup with trailer office, stocked supplies, and a provided laptop
- Procore access and training
