Perform daily pre‑trip and jobsite inspections of vehicles, lifts, and safety equipment.

Use company software and service management tools accurately and consistently.

Manage time effectively to minimize callbacks and rework.

Take ownership of workmanship and job outcomes.

Safety & Compliance

Follow all company safety policies, electrical codes, and lift safety procedures.

Use required PPE at all times.

Report safety concerns, equipment issues, and near misses immediately.

Personality Who This Person Is

A working electrician, not a theorist. Has spent real time in bucket trucks, on lifts, and in active parking lots fixing real problems.

Comfortable being trusted to run service calls without babysitting.

Understands that good service is a mix of technical skill, speed, and professionalism.

Takes pride in fixing things correctly the first time and hates callbacks as much as knows the difference between being busy and being productive.

Technical Strengths

Strong electrical troubleshooting skills in commercial environments.

Deep hands‑on experience with LED lighting systems, including driver and fixture failures, photocells and lighting controls, voltage and power supply issues, wiring faults and connection problems.

Can quickly determine whether a repair, component replacement, or full fixture replacement is the correct solution.

Reads wiring diagrams and understands circuits instead of guessing.

Comfortable working on energized systems when required, following proper safety procedures.

Bucket Truck & Field Capability

Experienced operating bucket trucks and aerial lifts safely and efficiently.

Understands proper setup, positioning, and traffic control without cutting corners.

Comfortable working at height, outdoors, and in less‑than‑perfect weather.

Treats company equipment like it’s their own.

Work Ethic & Accountability

Shows up on time, prepared, and ready to work.

Completes assigned work without excuses or excessive supervision.

Manages time effectively and keeps service calls moving.

Owns mistakes, fixes them, and learns from them.

Documents work accurately and consistently.

Customer & Communication Skills

Communicates clearly and professionally with customers and supervisors.

Calls ahead when required and sets reasonable expectations.

Can explain technical issues in plain language without talking down to people.

Safety Mindset

Takes safety seriously without needing constant reminders.

Uses PPE correctly and follows lift and electrical safety procedures.

Understands that unsafe shortcuts cost more in the long run.

Reports safety concerns and equipment issues immediately.

What This Person Is Not

Not someone who needs step‑by‑step instructions for routine service work.

Not a parts‑changer who guesses instead of troubleshooting.

Not someone who leaves jobs “mostly done.”

Not allergic to documentation, accountability, or expectations.

Not a clock‑puncher who disappears when things get hard.

Qualifications

High school diploma or GED required.

Completion of a 4–5 year apprenticeship program.

Valid driver’s license; must have or be able to obtain a DOT card.

Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills (not just parts replacement).
