ABOUT THE ROLE:
As a Construction Electrician, you will install and terminate new electrical infrastructure: conduit, cable tray, underground duct bank, cable, wire, and 480 V building and feeder work. This is a build job, not an operating-plant job — pull, land, and energize new equipment from drawings, then turn it over. You will follow lockout/tagout and grounding procedures and support first energization of new 480 V systems. This position is based in Southaven, MS.
This is an hourly position with overtime. Expect 80% or more travel on a rotation, with per diem.

- Read and interpret construction drawings, one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, and work orders.
- Follow lockout/tagout (LOTO), grounding, clearance procedures, NFPA 70E, and PPE requirements on an active construction site.
- Uncrate, set, and dress equipment; climb structures; operate hand and power tools, pulls, blowers, pumps, and portable generators.
- Support construction energization sequences, punch-list closeout, and turnover to operations with engineers and vendors.

- Operate company vehicles and specialized equipment; inspect and store personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Perform similar or less skilled incidental duties as assigned.

- Working knowledge of NFPA 70E and lockout/tagout (LOTO).
- Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work at heights and in confined spaces, and work outdoors in all weather.
- Hourly position with overtime; willingness to work nights, weekends, and extended shifts during construction and energization.
