$5,000 SIGN ON BONUS  FOR  Commercial & Industrial Construction Electrician

Low Voltage / 600V Power / Medium Voltage (up to 15kV)

Company: Haven Services
Location: Cleveland OH and surrounding project sites
Reports To: Foreman / Project Manager
Classification: Full-time, field-based

Position Summary

Haven Services is seeking an experienced Commercial & Industrial Construction Electrician capable of working across the full voltage spectrum encountered on modern commercial and industrial projects. The successful candidate will install, terminate, test, and troubleshoot systems ranging from structured cabling and low-voltage controls, through standard 480/277V and 208/120V power distribution, up to medium-voltage systems rated 15kV. 

This is a hands-on field role for an electrician who can read and interpret construction documents, work productively with minimal supervision, lead less experienced crew members when needed, and maintain an uncompromising standard for safety and code compliance. The role requires versatility — a typical week may include pulling and certifying CAT6, setting and terminating a 480V motor control center, and assisting with terminations and testing on 15kV feeders and switchgear.
