- Develop innovative but practical solutions for advanced technical systems, including electrical power systems, vehicle management/flight control systems, payload subsystems, etc.
- Oversee, and sometimes perform, the development and analysis of electrical system architectures, evaluation of electrical circuits and their operation at the system level, development of aircraft power budgets, analysis of equipment for compliance to GA-ASI requirements, etc.
- Ensure the electrical subsystems, including their components, are designed, analyzed and tested to meet the program schedule.
- Create and present reports and technical briefs that clearly communicate complex technical concepts during engineering meetings and program reviews with other GA-ASI personnel and external customers.
- Represent the organization as a prime technical contact within the engineering team for assigned project(s)/program(s).
- Coordinate with cross-functional design engineers from various technical disciplines (e.g. Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Flight Technologies, etc.) to solve relevant design issues.
- Plan and schedule work assignments for the team. Monitor project schedules, budgets and deliverables using standard project management tools and related engineering systems.
- Ensure the necessary design review processes are followed and the proper design control documentation is developed and maintained.
- Monitor and communicate staffing needs to leadership for current and future efforts.
- Lead the hiring process if the need for additional staffing is identified.
- Actively manage the performance and career aspirations of all direct reports.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in electrical supervisor jobs.
- Journeyman or master electrician license in the relevant state
- 5 or more years of electrical installation or maintenance experience
- Experience directing a crew of electricians and apprentices on active job sites
- Proficiency reading electrical blueprints, single-line diagrams, and panel schedules
- OSHA 30 construction or general industry certification
- Familiarity with the National Electrical Code and local code amendments
Tips for Your Electrical Supervisor Job Search
List your license tier explicitly
Employers filter by license class before they read anything else. Put your journeyman or master electrician license, the issuing state, and expiration date in a dedicated credentials line near the top of your resume, not buried in a summary paragraph.
Quantify crew size and project scope
Hiring managers want to know how many electricians you've directed and the dollar value or square footage of projects you've overseen. Replace vague phrases like 'supervised a team' with specific crew counts and project types like commercial tenant build-outs or substation upgrades.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists electrical supervisor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that match your voltage class
Low-voltage, medium-voltage, and high-voltage work draw different candidate pools and licensing requirements. When searching, filter or scan job descriptions for the voltage class you're certified and experienced in so you're not applying to roles that require credentials you don't hold.
Prepare for a field walk or practical scenario
Many electrical supervisor interviews include a walkthrough of a blueprint or a troubleshooting scenario, not just behavioral questions. Review single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and load calculations before your interview so you can talk through your reasoning out loud without hesitation.
Negotiate your per-diem rate on travel roles
Construction and industrial electrical supervisor roles often involve travel or relocation allowances that are negotiable separately from base pay. Confirm whether the per-diem rate is taxable or non-taxable and whether it covers lodging and meals before you accept, since the structure affects your real take-home.
Electrical Supervisor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most electrical supervisors?
The most active employers for electrical supervisors right now are Lowe's Home Improvement, IREN, and Keystone Clearwater Solutions, and the most openings are in Texas, Pennsylvania, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be strongest in regions with active infrastructure, industrial, and commercial construction projects.
How many electrical supervisor jobs are remote?
About 12% of electrical supervisor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most roles in this field. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are project coordination, estimating oversight, and construction management roles where site presence is intermittent rather than daily.
How do you become an electrical supervisor?
Start by completing an apprenticeship program and earning your journeyman electrician license in your state. Build several years of field experience across a range of project types, then move into a lead or foreman role to develop crew management and scheduling skills. Earning your master electrician license and an OSHA 30 certification strengthens your candidacy for supervisor positions significantly.
Can you get hired as an electrical supervisor with limited supervisory experience?
Yes, some employers will hire candidates into an electrical supervisor role who have strong technical credentials but limited formal management experience, particularly in smaller contracting firms or on projects where they can grow into the title. Demonstrating that you've informally led a crew, trained apprentices, or coordinated work schedules on a job site helps close that gap in a resume or interview.
What does the electrical supervisor interview process look like?
Most electrical supervisor interviews begin with a phone screen focused on licensing, experience level, and project types. An in-person or video interview typically follows, covering crew management scenarios, safety compliance, and how you handle scheduling conflicts or inspection failures. Some employers include a blueprint review or technical walkthrough to assess your ability to read schematics and explain your decision-making on the spot.
Where can I find and apply to electrical supervisor jobs?
You can find and apply to electrical supervisor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your license class, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one that fits.
