Electrical Crew Lead — Master Electrician (QI)
About this role
Lead an electrical crew as a semi-autonomous unit with a dedicated P&L. You are also designated a QI on the license, strengthening the division and giving your cash gross-margin sharing no ceiling. No employee equity or ownership interest is offered.
Compensation & Benefits
Expected total cash compensation at plan: $115,000–$130,000/yr. $30,000 at-plan annual gross-margin incentive (10% of $300,000 in collected, adjusted crew gross margin for a four-person crew), with 75% paid quarterly and 25% held for the annual true-up. This estimate excludes the value of benefits and discretionary annual company profit sharing.
Illustrative larger-operation scenario: $185,000–$200,000/yr at $1,000,000 crew gross margin. This is performance-based, uncapped potential rather than guaranteed compensation.
- $85K–$100K base + 10% of YOUR crew's collected, adjusted gross margin

- Quality/safety factor (0.7x–1.0x) so quality protects earnings rather than speed inflating them
- 75% of earned margin incentive paid quarterly; 25% held for the annual collections, warranty, and callback true-up
- Mentorship royalty — a declining 3-year override on a crew member's new crew when you develop them into their own Crew Lead
- The gross-margin incentive is earned from profitable, collected work rather than guaranteed salary
- Company truck, phone, tools; Day 1 benefits; 401(k) after 90 days
