About Hawkins
Hawkins Service Company has served Tampa Bay and Fort Myers since 1993. Electrical, AC and heating, plumbing, pool repair, and gas: one call handles it all. We keep growing because we only hire the best, and our customers love us for it. People come to us looking for a job and stay because they find a fulfilling career, room to grow, and a team that has each other's backs.
Our Guiding Principles
Dedication: Holds oneself and the team to high standards of professional work and safety
Dependability: Is reliable and can be counted on to perform
Passion: Takes pride in the quality of work
Honesty: Does the right thing even when no one is looking
Service: Delivers a 5-star level of service well beyond competitors
These principles aren't wall art at Hawkins. They shape how we hire, how we coach, and how we recognize our people. You'll hear about them in your interviews, because we mean them.
The Role
As our Pool Electrical & Automation Manager, you lead the electrical and low-voltage automation work on every new pool we build, and you grow our New Pools division by making Hawkins the go-to electrical subcontractor for pool builders across Tampa Bay. It's a hybrid leadership role: part pool electrical expert on the job site, part business developer in the field. We're looking for someone who can run a crew and read pool plans in the morning, then sit down with a pool builder in the afternoon and win the next job.
What This Role Is Not
We want to be upfront so you can decide if this is the right fit for you.
Not a general residential electrician role. If your background is mainly residential service, remodels, or new home wiring without pool construction and automation work, this role won't be the right match.
Not an install-only role. Growing our builder relationships is half the job, so you'll spend real time in the field meeting pool builders and winning new work.
Not a desk job. You'll split your days between active job sites and builder visits across Tampa Bay.
What You'll Do
Grow the builder network
Visit, call, and meet with pool builders, general contractors, and developers to introduce Hawkins as their go-to electrical subcontractor
Turn new relationships into signed, recurring subcontract work, and keep those builders coming back
Partner with leadership on pricing, bids, and contract terms for new builder accounts
Track outreach, leads, and accounts won, and keep leadership informed on your pipeline
Lead pool electrical and automation work
Build the electrical and low-voltage automation scope for each new pool, from plan review through final approval
Oversee and perform installation of pool lighting, pump and filtration wiring, heaters, bonding and grounding, automation and control panels, and the residential wiring in and around each new pool
Install, program, and troubleshoot Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy iAquaLink, and Pentair IntelliCenter/EasyTouch systems
Make sure every installation meets NEC Article 680, local code, and manufacturer specifications
Coordinate permits and inspections with inspectors and pool builders
Run the crew
Supervise technicians and subcontractors across multiple active job sites
Train your team on automation systems, best practices, and safety
Keep accurate records of materials, labor hours, inspections, and change orders
What You Bring
Must-haves
You know pool construction: 3-5 years of hands-on electrical work on new pool construction, including the residential wiring that goes with it. Residential electrical experience alone won't meet this requirement
You program pool automation: you've installed and programmed Hayward, Jandy, or Pentair automation systems
You know the builder side: you've worked as a subcontractor to pool builders, or directly alongside them
You lead crews: you've supervised technicians or subcontractors across multiple job sites
You know the code: strong working knowledge of NEC Article 680 and pool bonding and grounding, plus the ability to read pool plans, blueprints, and wiring diagrams
You're not afraid to sell: you're comfortable walking into a pool builder's office, introducing yourself, and turning that conversation into recurring work
Valid driver's license and a clean driving record
Nice-to-haves
Hayward, Jandy, and/or Pentair manufacturer certifications
Existing relationships with pool builders in Tampa Bay
Outside sales, account management, or business development experience
OSHA 10/30 certification
Bilingual in English and Spanish
Pay, Schedule, and Benefits
Base salary of $75,000-$85,000 depending on experience, plus a performance bonus tied to new builder accounts won
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
PTO and paid holidays
401(k) plan
Paid training and professional development
