The Electrical Foreman / Team Lead will lead and oversee all electrical works carried out within SPACE/CRAFT's Tijuana, Mexico production facility, covering the full scope of electrical installation, integration, and commissioning across luxury retail fixtures, visual merchandising displays, interior fit-out structures, custom furniture, and experiential branded environments.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role that sits at the intersection of technical electrical expertise and production team management. The ideal candidate has a proven background in electrical works within VM production, retail fit-out, or interior construction environments, and is equally confident running a team on the shop floor as they are reading schematics and troubleshooting complex electrical systems. They understand the precision, finish quality, and reliability standards demanded by global luxury brands and take full accountability for the electrical function within a fast-paced, multi-project production environment.
