- Please list the last 2–3 new construction projects you have worked on as an Electrician within the commercial and/or institutional sector (e.g., ABC Project in City, ST for XYZ Contractor).
- On large commercial/institutional sites, electrical raceways often conflict with HVAC ductwork and plumbing. Describe a time you had to coordinate with other trades to resolve a routing conflict. How did you determine the best path for your conduit?"
