Staged wire, fittings, devices, and power tools for commercial and residential crews so licensed electricians stayed on the tools.
Pulled EMT and PVC conduit, helped set boxes, and kept wire pulls organized on multi-trade jobsites.
Kept work areas clean, returned unused stock, and flagged damaged materials before they slowed the crew.
Learned OSHA site basics, PPE, and lockout/tagout awareness while supporting journeymen on occupied and new-construction sites.
