• Lead commercial electrical installations and tenant-improvement projects from rough-in through trim-out, testing, punch-list closeout, and inspection approval. • Install and troubleshoot 120/208V and 277/480V feeders, panels, transformers, lighting controls, emergency systems, and low-voltage pathways from drawings and one-lines. • Coordinate daily work for crews of up to 6 electricians with GCs and inspectors, maintaining schedule milestones while enforcing OSHA, NEC, and lockout/tagout requirements. • Reduced repeat service calls 18% by standardizing commissioning checklists and documenting panel directories, torque values, and as-built changes.

• Wired retail build-outs, medical offices, restaurants, and warehouse spaces, installing branch circuits, disconnects, motors, receptacles, lighting, and fire-alarm raceway pathways. • Interpreted architectural plans, electrical schedules, and equipment submittals; laid out conduit runs and maintained accurate material takeoffs. • Performed megger tests, continuity checks, phase balancing, and startup support; resolved inspection comments with zero repeat deficiencies on three major projects. • Trained apprentices on bending, terminations, panel labeling, and safe work practices while maintaining production targets.

• Maintained electrical systems across 14 commercial properties, completing preventive inspections, lighting retrofits, emergency repairs, and tenant service requests. • Diagnosed motor controls, contactors, breakers, GFCI faults, and lighting circuits using meters and test equipment while documenting findings for facility managers. • Completed rooftop-unit disconnects, parking-lot lighting repairs, generator transfer-switch checks, and fire/life-safety support under permit and site safety requirements. • Improved work-order closeout time 25% by organizing service parts, standardizing troubleshooting notes, and communicating clear repair options to clients.

Coursework in commercial wiring methods, electrical theory, motor controls, blueprint reading, code calculations, and job-site safety. Completed hands-on lab projects in conduit bending, panel assembly, three-phase distribution, and troubleshooting.
