A bit about us:

We’re a family-owned specialty electrical contractor with more than three decades in the industry. We deliver turnkey industrial electrical, automation, power services and renewable energy projects for clients across the country. We’re in a period of significant growth, winning large-scale projects in remote locations and hiring skilled craft employees in large waves to support them. Our culture moves quickly, takes calculated risks, and rewards people who step up and own their work. We’re investing in our HR function to match our growth, and this role puts a trusted HR presence directly in the field where our people work.

Why join us?

• Brand-new role: shape how field HR works from the ground up, with no predecessor’s playbook to inherit.
• Strong backup: you partner with an experienced corporate HR leadership team on decisions and outcomes, so you’re never on an island.
• Growth company: rapid revenue and headcount growth, major project wins, and a business that’s building out its HR function.
• Work that matters: you’re the first HR face hundreds of new employees see, and you directly shape how field leaders manage their people.
• Travel taken care of: company card for travel, plus hotel lodging near project sites.
• Remote home base: live where it works for you, as long as it's close to a major airport (highly prefer candidates in the Midwest down through Texas - central states)
• Focused scope: a dedicated safety team handles safety matters, so you focus on people.
