Electrician at Prime Partners

About Our Electrician Team

As a Senior Electrician with 20 years in the field, I can say with confidence that working as an electrician at Prime Partners in Manhattan Beach, CA means joining a team that takes pride in doing clean, code-compliant, high-quality work on every project we touch. Our reputation throughout Manhattan Beach has been built on reliability, craftsmanship, and the ability to keep commercial construction moving without shortcuts. We are the electricians contractors call when they need someone who can show up prepared, read the job correctly, and execute with precision from rough-in to final trim. Our work spans a wide range of commercial and light industrial projects, including tenant improvements, office buildouts, retail spaces, restaurants, multi-unit developments, hospitality properties, and service upgrades. We also regularly support projects in surrounding cities such as El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Carson, Gardena, and Long Beach. If you are an electrician who takes pride in your trade, understands the pace of construction, and wants to work with a company that values skill and accountability, this is the kind of team where you can build a long-term career.

The Electrician Position

This is a hands-on construction electrician role for someone who knows how to work independently, think ahead, and keep a job moving. On a day-to-day basis, you will be responsible for installing conduit, pulling wire, setting devices, mounting equipment, and completing electrical systems according to plans, specifications, and field conditions. You will work in active construction environments where coordination matters, deadlines are real, and quality cannot be compromised. That means you will often be working alongside general contractors, foremen, project managers, apprentices, inspectors, and other trades to make sure your work integrates cleanly with the rest of the build.

Our electricians handle a mix of new construction, tenant improvement, remodel, and upgrade work, so no two days look exactly the same. One day you may be laying out and bending EMT for a commercial suite buildout in Manhattan Beach, and the next you may be working on a panel upgrade, lighting package, or branch circuit installation in a neighboring city. The ability to adapt to changing site conditions is essential. You will be expected to read drawings, verify dimensions, identify conflicts, and solve problems in the field without needing constant direction.

We operate with a strong team structure, but we also expect experienced electricians to take ownership of their scope. Foremen and lead electricians provide direction, coordination, and quality control, while experienced field electricians are trusted to execute assigned work with a high level of independence. If you demonstrate strong performance, leadership, and consistency, there is real growth potential within Prime Partners. We want electricians who can move into lead roles, become trusted go-to field professionals, and eventually help train and supervise others as the company continues to grow throughout the South Bay and greater Los Angeles area.

Core Electrician Responsibilities

Your core responsibility will be to perform high-quality electrical installation work on commercial construction projects while maintaining safety, productivity, and professionalism on site. This includes conduit installation and layout, EMT bending with accuracy, panel installation, disconnect installation, lighting installation, and branch circuit rough-in and trim-out. You will be expected to read prints, understand the intended electrical design, and execute layout independently with minimal supervision.

In addition to the core duties above, you will also be expected to handle advanced technical tasks such as:

• Troubleshooting wiring and circuit issues during rough-in and final stages
• Performing electrical terminations with attention to torque, labeling, and code compliance
• Coordinating feeder and branch routing in congested ceiling and wall conditions
• Verifying panel schedules, circuit identification, and device placement before final inspection

Regional project specifics are an important part of this role. In Manhattan Beach and surrounding coastal communities, electricians often work in occupied or high-visibility commercial spaces where cleanliness, noise control, and scheduling are critical. You may encounter tight retrofit conditions, coastal environment considerations, and projects that require careful coordination with other trades to avoid delays. Many of our jobs take place in active commercial buildings, tenant spaces, and mixed-use developments where the ability to work efficiently while maintaining a professional presence is essential.

Safety is non-negotiable. You must follow all site safety protocols, including lockout/tagout procedures, proper ladder and lift use, PPE requirements, tool inspections, panel safety, and hazard communication standards. You are expected to keep your work area clean, remove debris, stage materials properly, and coordinate with other trades so the site remains organized and work can continue without unnecessary interruptions. A safe electrician is a productive electrician, and we expect both.

Required Experience & Skills

We are looking for an experienced electrician with a minimum of 3 to 6 years of hands-on electrical construction experience, with a strong preference for candidates who have worked on commercial projects and can operate with limited supervision. You must have solid conduit bending ability, including accurate EMT layout and fabrication in the field. You should be able to read blueprints, electrical schematics, and job specifications with confidence, and you must understand how to apply that knowledge to real-world installation conditions.

Required certifications and qualifications include:

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• OSHA 10 certification preferred or ability to obtain
• Journeyman-level experience preferred
• Current or verifiable electrical training credentials if applicable
• Ability to meet jobsite safety and compliance requirements

Technical knowledge required for this role includes:

• Strong understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
• Knowledge of commercial wiring methods and installation standards
• Ability to install and terminate panels, disconnects, lighting, receptacles, switches, and branch circuits
• Understanding of electrical load calculations and circuiting basics
• Familiarity with low-voltage coordination and general construction sequencing
• Ability to identify and correct field issues before they become delays
• Knowledge of safe work practices around energized and de-energized systems

You must be reliable, punctual, and capable of working without constant supervision. We value electricians who take initiative, communicate clearly, and show up ready to produce quality work every day.

Tools & Equipment

Our electricians use a wide range of tools daily to complete commercial electrical work efficiently and accurately. Common daily tools include: - Tape measure - Lineman’s pliers - Side cutters - Needle-nose pliers - Screwdrivers and nut drivers - Wire strippers - Level - Torpedo level - Hammer - Cordless drill and impact driver - Hole saws - Conduit reamer - Fish tape - Cordless bender or hand bender - Voltage tester and multimeter

Personal tools expected from each electrician include the basic hand tools necessary to perform daily electrical work, along with any specialty tools you rely on for conduit bending, terminations, and device installation. Candidates should be prepared to maintain their own hand tools in good working condition and keep them organized.

Company-provided equipment may include ladders, lifts, job-specific power tools, material handling equipment, and any specialized tools needed for the scope of work. We expect our electricians to use company equipment responsibly, return it in good condition, and report any damage or issues immediately.

Physical Requirements

This role requires the physical ability to perform demanding construction work throughout the day. Electricians must be able to lift and carry materials and equipment weighing up to 50 pounds regularly, and occasionally more with assistance. You should be comfortable standing, walking, climbing ladders, kneeling, crouching, reaching overhead, and working in tight spaces such as ceilings, utility rooms, and mechanical areas.

Working conditions may include indoor and outdoor environments, exposure to dust, heat, noise, and active construction traffic. You may work in occupied buildings, unfinished tenant spaces, or areas where multiple trades are operating at the same time. Because of this, professionalism, situational awareness, and safety discipline are essential.

Required safety gear includes:

• Hard hat
• Safety glasses
• High-visibility vest when required
• Work boots
• Gloves
• Hearing protection
• Any additional PPE required by site conditions or task-specific hazards

Training & Development

At Prime Partners, we believe in developing electricians who want to keep growing. Our mentorship approach pairs experienced electricians with team members who are ready to sharpen their skills, improve their speed, and strengthen their understanding of commercial electrical construction.

Available certifications and development opportunities may include:

• OSHA safety training
• Lift and equipment training
