What is an apprentice electric?

An apprentice electric, more commonly referred to as an apprentice electrician, is an entry-level worker who is training to become a licensed electrician. Apprentices typically work under the supervision of experienced electricians, learning how to install, maintain, and repair electrical systems in homes, businesses, and other buildings. The apprenticeship usually combines on-the-job training with classroom instruction, and can last several years. During this time, apprentices gain practical experience and knowledge needed to advance in the electrical trade.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an apprentice electric, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Apprentice Electrician, you need a basic understanding of electrical theory, strong math skills, and a high school diploma or equivalent, often supplemented by enrollment in a certified apprenticeship program. Familiarity with tools like multimeters, conduit benders, and electrical codes (such as the NEC) is critical, and OSHA safety certification is often required. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and effective communication help apprentices work safely and collaborate with experienced electricians. These skills and qualifications are vital for ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient electrical work while building a strong foundation for career advancement.

What are some common challenges apprentice electrics face during their training, and how can they overcome them?

Apprentice Electricians often encounter challenges like adapting to physically demanding work, understanding complex wiring diagrams, and staying updated with safety protocols. To overcome these hurdles, it's important to ask questions, actively seek feedback from experienced journeymen, and commit to ongoing learning, both on the job and through formal classes. Building strong communication skills and maintaining a positive attitude can also help apprentices integrate smoothly into their teams and steadily build their confidence and competence.

Job description

THE OPPORTUNITY

Most electrical contractors will hire you. Reliable Electric willinvest in you.

We've been part of the Dayton community for over 80 years - not because we're the biggest shop in town, but because we build careers, not just crews. We were named a Dayton Business Journal Best Place to Work in both 2021 and 2025, and Family-Owned Business of the Year. Those aren't marketing lines. They're what happens when you actually treat people right.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

You'll work on real commercial construction projects across the Dayton and Cincinnati area - conduit, wiring, panels, blueprints, training apprentices, assist in layout of projects, and hands-on trade work alongside folks who are invested in your growth. No busywork. You'll be on meaningful jobs from day one.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

  • 80+ years of steady work -we don't boom and bust. When other shops slow down, we keep our people busy.
  • Merit-based advancement -your raise is based on what you learn and how you perform, not how long you've waited in line.
  • We develop apprentices -our co-op and apprentice program actively grows young tradespeople. If you're hungry to learn, we're ready to teach.
  • Community rooted -we're not a faceless national contractor. We live here, give back here, and our leadership knows your name.

WHAT WE OFFER

Health benefits (company pays a portion)

Tool & boot allowance

401(k) with company match

Tuition reimbursement


Safety/Training programs

Performance bonuses

Paid holidays & vacation

Weekly pay

Employee events & team culture

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 6+ years of commercial experience
  • Strong conduit skills
  • Experience training and developing apprentices
  • Comfortable working across the Dayton and Cincinnati footprint
  • Ability to lift 50+ lbs. and work in all weather conditions
  • OSHA 10/30 or aerial work platform certification is a plus - we'll help you get there if you don't have it yet
