Project Foreman

About Evolved Lighting & Energy

Evolved Lighting & Energy is a fast-growing electrical contracting company specializing in lighting retrofits, lighting controls, low-voltage energy upgrades, and EV charger installations.

We modernize facilities through smarter, more efficient electrical systems — and we do it with a team grounded in our values:

Quality, Inner Fire, Collaboration, Versatility, and Positive Charge.

We are looking for a Project Foreman who has deep installation expertise, strong leadership instincts, and a passion for developing the next generation of electricians and crew leads. This role is central to the success of our field operations.

The Role

As a Project Foreman, you will lead 2–3 Crew Leads and their field teams across commercial lighting, controls, and energy retrofit projects.

You will be responsible for jobsite setup, training and developing apprentices and electricians, enforcing safety, coordinating with Project Managers, and ensuring projects are executed safely, efficiently, and to Evolved LE’s standards of craftsmanship.

This position is hands-on, leadership-heavy, and critical to our field structure. You will be the on-site driver of safety, quality, productivity, and communication.

Confident managing multiple crews and teaching installation methods

Organized, proactive, and motivated to keep jobs safe, clean, and on schedule

Someone who sets the tone for professionalism, teamwork, and quality every day

You are responsive and dependable — if a crew leader, PM, or executive reaches out after hours with an urgent issue, you return the call or text within 30 minutes unless you are on PTO or a scheduled holiday.

You lead from the front. You teach. You hold a high standard. You represent Evolved LE in how you work and how you treat people.
