Electrical Helper/Spotter

Omega Contractors LLC — Electrical Helper / Spotter (Entry Level / Pre-Apprentice)

Position Summary
Omega Contractors is hiring Electrical Helpers / Spotters for industrial/commercial work. You’ll support electricians by keeping work areas safe, controlled, and ready—spotting lifts/equipment movement, staging materials, managing housekeeping, and handling basic support tasks. This role is about safety, awareness, and crew support while you learn the jobsite environment.

Core Responsibilities
Spotter / Safety Watch (Primary)
• Spot scissor/boom lifts, forklifts, and material movement per site rules (line-of-sight, radios, hand signals as trained).
• Maintain exclusion zones (barricade/tape/signage), protect the public/other trades, and keep paths clear.
• Watch for hazards: overhead work, pinch points, swing radius, trip hazards, rotating equipment, and restricted areas.
• Use stop-work authority: call it out early and immediately if conditions change or if anything becomes unsafe.

Material & Tool Readiness
• Stage materials by area (conduit, fittings, strut, hardware, fasteners, consumables) so the crew isn’t waiting.
• Run parts/tools efficiently (gang box, laydown, material trailers) and communicate shortages early.
• Manage cords/hoses/cables to reduce trip hazards and keep walk paths open.

Work Area Setup & Housekeeping
• Keep the work area clean, organized, and turnover-ready (trash, scrap, packaging, sweeping as required).
• Set up/maintain barricades, signage, floor protection, and clean work fronts.
• Protect finished work (covers, caps, keeping areas clean).

Basic Support Tasks (Non-Electrical / As Assigned)
• Assist with handling/staging conduit, strut, tray components, and hardware (no independent installation decisions).
• Hold ladders/materials, assist with measuring, and support layout prep under direction.
• Assist with simple, supervised tasks like sorting, labeling materials, and prepping hardware kits.

Communication & Team Execution
• Take direction well, communicate clearly, and confirm instructions (“repeat-back” when needed).
• Coordinate with other trades to reduce conflicts and keep access controlled.
• Maintain a professional jobsite presence—no drama, no shortcuts.

Omega “First-Time-Right” Support Standard (Helper Level)
• Work areas are safe, clean, and ready for electricians to install “first-time-right.”
• Materials are staged before they’re needed (minimize “waiting on material”).
• Barricades and exclusion zones are maintained correctly—no one walks into danger zones.
• At shift end: area is clean, tools accounted for, materials organized for tomorrow.

Safety Expectations (Non-Negotiable)
• OSHA/site compliance, PPE, housekeeping, and stop-work authority.
• Understand and respect barricades, approach limits, and controlled energy areas (no unauthorized entry).
• Lift safety: stay alert, never distract operators, and follow spotter rules every time.
• Report near-misses, hazards, and incidents immediately.

Performance & Accountability (This is what “great” looks like)
• Keeps the crew moving: minimal idle time caused by missing tools/materials.
• Controls the work zone: clear communication, clean paths, correct barricades.
• Sees problems early (access issues, congestion, missing parts) and escalates fast.
• Reliable attendance, on-time, ready to work—every day.

Required Qualifications
• OSHA 10 minimum (or obtain quickly per Omega policy).
• Ability to follow directions, communicate clearly, and stay alert.
• Able to operate scissor lifts (or obtain certification); comfortable working around lifts/equipment.
• Physically able to stand/walk long periods, lift/carry materials, and work indoors/outdoors at industrial sites.
• Willing to supply basic hand tools appropriate to level (as required).

Preferred Qualifications
• Any construction, warehouse, rigging support, or industrial site experience.
• Spotter training / lift awareness, fall protection training (preferred).
• Interest in advancing into the Electrical Apprentice role.

Growth Path (Helper → Apprentice)
• Demonstrate safety discipline, zone control, and material readiness.
• Show consistent reliability, coachability, and quality habits.
• Progression target: move into Apprentice track once you consistently support execution without supervision.

What We Expect
• Safety first, spec compliant behaviors, reliable attendance, team attitude, and strong awareness.

What We Don’t Tolerate
• No-shows, unsafe behavior, ignoring barricades/exclusion zones, poor attitude, drama.

Work Environment
• Industrial/commercial sites, fast schedules, heights/lifts, PPE, and strict standards.
