Electrical Foreman

MatchBox Consulting Group is partnering with one of British Columbia’s growing and highly respected electrical contractors. With a strong presence across the Lower Mainland, the company delivers commercial, institutional, infrastructure, tenant improvement, and technology-focused electrical projects.

We’re looking for an experienced Electrical Foreman who enjoys leading crews, staying involved in technically strong projects, and taking ownership of site operations from start to finish.

This is a company that hires for the long term. Many members of the senior leadership team started in the field as Red Seal Electricians, creating a strong environment for tradespeople who want to build their careers beyond the tools and into leadership and operations.

Why Consider this Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an electrical contractor with a strong and diverse project pipeline and a genuine focus on developing its people.

Rather than moving from one short-term project to the next, you’ll have the opportunity to build a long-term career while working on a mix of commercial TI, institutional, infrastructure, new construction, and design-build projects.

You’ll work alongside leaders who understand the trade and value field experience, while having opportunities to mentor apprentices and Lead Hands and take on increasingly complex responsibilities.

The company also offers competitive compensation, benefits, RRSP matching, and bonus opportunities.

If you’re an experienced Electrical Foreman looking for strong projects, a stable company, and a clear path for long-term growth, we’d be interested in hearing from you. Apply today!

• 3–5+ years of experience as a Journeyperson Electrician.
• 2+ years of Foreman experience within commercial electrical construction.
• Strong knowledge of commercial electrical systems and the Canadian Electrical Code.
