About Towery Electric
Towery Electric is a licensed California C-10 electrical contractor (License #989290) based in Novato, serving Marin County and the North Bay since 2013. Founded and still led by Alex Towery, we are known for builder-trusted, inspection-ready craftsmanship on custom homes, residential remodels, panel upgrades, EV chargers, backup power, lighting control (including Lutron), and selective commercial work.
We stay intentionally focused: owner-involved, direct crews (no heavy subcontracting), clean job sites, labeled panels, first-pass inspections, and straight answers for homeowners and builders. Roughly half our work is builder-led custom homes and half is direct residential/service. We prioritize quality, code compliance, and long-term relationships over volume.
The Role
We are hiring a Service Electrician Manager to lead and grow our service operations. This is a hands-on leadership role in a small, high-standards company. You will oversee the service team, scheduling, customer experience, quality, and profitability of service work (troubleshooting, repairs, small projects, emergency calls, and maintenance) while upholding the same builder-grade standards we apply to custom homes.
You will report directly to the owner and work closely with field electricians, the office, and customers. Expect a mix of field leadership, scheduling/dispatch coordination, quality oversight, customer communication, and hands-on work.

- Coordinate with the office on scheduling, inventory, vehicles, and documentation (permits, photos, notes).
- Maintain strong relationships with homeowners and builders; represent the company professionally on site and by phone.
- Participate in safety meetings, process improvements, and growth of the service side of the business.
- Be available for occasional after-hours or emergency coordination consistent with company needs.
