Electrical Foreman & Electrical Mechanics

About Soleire

Soleire Electrical Solutions is a licensed electrical and low-voltage contractor working across the five boroughs and the surrounding region. We build commercial tenant fit-outs, multi-floor office builds, high-end Manhattan renovations, and data and low-voltage infrastructure, for some of the most demanding general contractors and building owners in the city.

We are hiring on two fronts — Foremen to run our jobs, and experienced Mechanics to build them. Both are full-time, year-round positions with a strong project pipeline behind them.

How we work — technology on our jobs

Soleire is a technology-centric contractor. We run our projects on current construction software — Procore for drawings, daily reports, photo documentation, and project tracking, and Bluebeam for plans and markups — and we keep our field procedures current as better tools become available.

For you, that means current drawings in your hand instead of an outdated paper set in the gang box, clear daily direction, and less time lost chasing information or reworking something that changed last week.

It also means we expect you to be willing to learn. For Mechanics, prior Procore or Bluebeam experience is helpful but not required — we will train you. For Foremen, working fluency in Procore and Bluebeam is a requirement. Either way you need to be comfortable working from a smartphone or tablet on site.

Position 1 — Electrical Foremen (Multiple Positions) - $35.00 – $45.00 per hour

As a Foreman you are responsible for supervising crews involved in the installation, alteration, addition, and repair of electrical systems and associated materials and equipment — or you may be the primary jobsite supervisor on smaller construction, retrofit, or tenant finish projects.

What you'll own

• Responsibility for all electrical construction crews on your project.
• Laying out work for subordinate lead persons. Jointly responsible with the Project Manager for having material, tools, equipment, information, and appropriate manpower in the right place at the right time.
• Establishing work schedules and man-loading charts.
• Directing crews on installation of feeders; equipment such as pumps, motors, and generators; control and distribution apparatus such as switchgear, relays, and panels; lighting fixtures and outlets; and related connections and terminations.
• Monitoring work as performed, directing crews, and scheduling work to the pace of the job and other trades.
• Performing work being supervised, for either production or instruction.
• Handling or overseeing office correspondence and administrative paperwork — official forms, daily reports, time sheets, safety reports.
• Crew and project safety performance.
• Assuring employees are properly trained or instructed in the duties they are assigned.
• Assuring compliance with all Soleire processes and protocols.
• Investigating or assisting in the investigation and reporting of any accident or safety incident involving jobsite employees.

What you need

• Previous Foreman experience running electrical construction crews.
• Valid NYC SST Supervisor card (62-hour, per Local Law 196). This is the credential DOB enforces for supervisors — the 40-hour Worker card does not cover this role. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE 62 HOUR, WE WILL SCHEDULE AND PAY FOR THE UPGRADE.
• Working experience with Procore and Bluebeam, or similar software, for scheduling, documentation, and project tracking.
• Proficiency in daily email communication.
• Extensive knowledge of the NEC and NYC Electrical Code amendments.
• A solid employment track record, integrity, and reliability.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States.

Position 2 — Electrical Mechanics (Multiple Positions), 4+ Years | $25.00 – $35.00 per hour

As a Mechanic you will install, repair, maintain, connect, and test electrical systems. You will plan installations from blueprints, sketches, and specifications, install electrical and electronic devices, and systematically diagnose faults. You will measure, cut, thread, bend, assemble, and install conduit and other raceways, and splice and terminate conductors.

What you'll do

• Run your own scope from prints, without direction.
• Bend and install conduit — EMT, rigid, and PVC.
• Splice and terminate electrical conductors.
• Install electrical and electronic devices, and systematically diagnose faults.
• Fire alarm wiring and troubleshooting.
• Lighting controls installation and commissioning support (Lutron, Wattstopper, Acuity, Crestron, and similar).
• Work independently or as part of a crew, following the daily schedule set by your Foreman or Coordinator.

What you need

• 4+ years of NYC electrical construction experience as a mechanic.
• Conduit bending experience — EMT, rigid, and PVC.
• Extensive knowledge of the NEC and NYC Electrical Code amendments.
• Fire alarm wiring and troubleshooting experience.
• Lighting controls experience — Lutron, Wattstopper, Acuity, Crestron, or similar.
• Valid NYC SST Worker card (40-hour, per Local Law 196) — or the ability to obtain one before your start date.
• A solid employment track record, integrity, and reliability.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States.

Required for both positions

• Your own hand tools, appropriate to your level (full tool list provided at hire).
• Smartphone capable of running Procore, and comfortable using it on site for drawings, daily reports, and photos.
• Willingness to learn and adapt to the software and procedures we provide.

Nice to have — either position

• Prior experience with Procore, Bluebeam, or similar construction management software.
• Low-voltage and data cabling experience.
• Bilingual (English / Spanish).
• Lift or scaffold certifications.

What we offer

• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off.
• Tuition reimbursement and professional development support.
• Employee assistance program.
• Eligibility for our field-crew and foreman performance bonus program — we track labor against the estimated budget on every job, and when your crew beats it, you share in it.
• Steady, year-round work backed by a strong project pipeline.
• Training on the construction software we use — Procore and Bluebeam — skills that carry with you for the rest of your career.
• Well-run, well-documented job sites, so you spend your day doing electrical work rather than chasing information.
• A clear path to advance. We run a formal foreman training program and we promote from within.

Schedule and location

Full-time, Monday to Friday, day shift. Overtime as project schedules require. In person, on active job sites across Manhattan and The Bronx.
