About us
MTLI Group has been in business since 1982. We’re an industrial contractor working across the US and Canada, about 250 people in house plus a subcontractor network. We do racking, conveyor, automation, mezzanines, construction, relocations and industrial electrical. Most of our customers are large logistics and manufacturing operations, including Amazon, DHL and Coca-Cola.
We’re building out our US electrical division and need superintendents who can run large crews.
The role
You’ll run the electrical scope on a project site, typically 20 to 35 electricians working under three or four foremen. You handle manpower, schedule, safety, quality, material and the customer relationship on site. You’re the one the customer’s project manager calls.
Most of our work is in buildings that are still operating, so planning and coordination matter as much as the install.
