Owen Fitzgerald

• Lead rough-in and finish electrical on 15,000–80,000 sq ft commercial TI and new-build packages across Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale; average crew of 3–5 apprentices and helpers. • Bend and install EMT/IMC conduit runs, pull feeders, and terminate panels up to 800A; maintain first-pass inspection pass rate above 95% on assigned floors. • Troubleshoot lighting controls, occupancy sensors, and emergency/egress circuits; close punch lists within one follow-up visit on most retail and office shells. • Coordinate daily with GC supers and mechanical/plumbing leads to sequence outages and temporary power so other trades stay productive. • Mentor two apprentices through Arizona trade hours; document daily tasks, toolbox talks, and safety observations for company QA.

• Installed branch circuits, devices, and fixtures on warehouse, restaurant, and medical-office projects serving the East Valley. • Built and labeled panels, pulled MC and THHN, and set transformers under journeyman supervision until promoted to lead on mid-size TIs. • Read one-line diagrams and reflected ceiling plans; flagged conflicts early to reduce rework on lighting layouts. • Maintained van stock and job boxes so first-visit material availability stayed high on service/add-on tickets. • Supported after-hours cutovers for retail openings; completed temporary-to-permanent power transitions with documented lockout/tagout.

• Completed registered apprenticeship hours on commercial and light-industrial jobs while attending related classroom instruction. • Learned conduit bending, wire pulling, device termination, and basic motor controls under licensed electricians. • Assisted with material staging, scrap segregation, and end-of-day cleanup; progressed from helper tasks to independent branch-circuit installs. • Practiced OSHA-safe habits (PPE, ladder safety, energized-work awareness) and passed periodic skills evaluations. • Supported service calls for lighting and receptacle repairs that built troubleshooting fundamentals.
