Job description

Here's the updated version — dropping the apprenticeship requirement and just focusing on early-career experience:

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICIAN (6+ MONTHS EXPERIENCE)

ABOUT THIS ROLE

We're looking for electricians with at least 6 months of hands-on experience, commercial or industrial background preferred. If you're motivated, reliable, and ready to learn, we'll help you grow. We offer an in-house apprenticeship program and may provide bootcamp-style training to help you work toward your apprenticeship card if you don't already have one, or your journeyman!

This position will require travel to Ohio for the first 1-4 months to support a project (60-hour work weeks). After that initial period, the role transitions to local work within an hour's commute of the branch you're hired into. Occasional travel opportunities can happen, but is not a full-time requirement of the role.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive Pay based on your experience and level, with a clear path upward
  • Full Benefits Package: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, and HSA
  • Per Diem
  • Paid Time Off
  • 401(k) with matching
  • Safety-First Culture: Safety Equipment & Uniforms Provided
  • Real Growth Paths: this role is designed to grow with you
  • In-House Apprenticeship Program: structured development, including support to work toward your apprenticeship card and licensure

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Assisting with electrical work on industrial job sites, including an initial assignment on a large-scale project in Ohio
  • Learning to read and interpret blueprints, rough sketches, plans, and specifications
  • Assisting with wiring 120V, 480V, and low voltage systems
  • Working alongside experienced electricians on lighting, transformers, motor controls, and switchboards
  • Measuring, threading, bending, and running EMT and rigid conduit
  • Supporting the team with tooling and material needs on the job
  • Upholding job site safety standards (PPE, OSHA, NEC)
  • Communicating clearly with the team and service manager
  • Showing up ready to learn and take direction

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

  • Minimum 6 months of hands-on electrical experience (commercial or industrial preferred)
  • Basic understanding of electrical fundamentals
  • Willingness to learn 120V, 480V, and low voltage systems
  • Comfortable working under supervision and taking direction
  • Reliable, hardworking, and eager to grow in the trade
  • Willing and able to travel to Ohio for the first 1-4 months of employment (60-hour weeks)
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs.
  • Valid driver's license

READY TO GROW WITH US?

If you're ready to build a career in the electrical trade with a team that will invest in your growth, we want to hear from you!
