Electrician (Construction)

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.
