Journeyman Electricians collaborate daily with foremen and site superintendents to coordinate work, manage risk, and keep jobs moving safely and efficiently. Across every role, safety is non‑negotiable. Every team member is expected to follow safety requirements, use PPE properly, and uphold Interstates’ Zero‑Injury expectations.
