What is an Entry Level Apprentice?

An Entry Level Apprentice is someone who is starting out in a trade or profession, usually with little or no prior experience. Apprentices participate in a structured training program that combines on-the-job learning with classroom instruction. This allows them to gain practical skills and knowledge while earning a wage. Entry Level Apprenticeships are common in fields like construction, electrical work, plumbing, and other skilled trades. The goal is to prepare individuals for a full-time career in their chosen industry.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Entry Level Apprentice, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Entry Level Apprentice, you need a basic understanding of the industry, a willingness to learn, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with industry-specific tools, safety protocols, and sometimes introductory certifications (such as OSHA or trade-specific basics) is helpful. Strong communication, reliability, and a positive attitude are valuable soft skills that distinguish successful apprentices. These skills and qualities are crucial for building foundational expertise, ensuring safety, and progressing within the chosen trade or profession.

What types of tasks and responsibilities can I expect as an Entry Level Apprentice, and how will my workload be structured?

As an Entry Level Apprentice, your daily responsibilities will typically include assisting experienced professionals, participating in hands-on training, and gradually taking on more complex tasks as your skills develop. You may be assigned to shadow senior team members, complete routine tasks, and help with project preparation and clean-up. Your workload will often be structured to balance practical learning with formal instruction, ensuring you gain both technical skills and industry knowledge. Team collaboration is common, and you'll likely work closely with mentors who provide guidance and feedback. This structured environment is designed to support your growth and prepare you for more advanced roles in the field.

This is not an entry-level apprenticeship role. This position is designed for developing electricians who perform at a high production level in commercial construction environments while continuing to grow within the trade. This is a long-term traveling opportunity within a performance-driven organization focused on safety, execution, and accountability.

  • Work directly under licensed Journeymen and Foremen to support daily field execution

  • 8,000–9,000 (or more) documented work hours in commercial electrical construction (approximately 5 or more years of full-time trade experience)
  • Experience in heavy commercial environments, including ground-up construction preferred
  • Active Apprentice license required
  • Demonstrated experience in conduit installation (EMT, rigid, PVC), feeder pulls, lighting systems, and commercial power distribution components
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, one-lines, and specifications with minimal supervision
  • Ability to pass background screening and pre-employment drug testing to meet company policy
  • Must provide two valid forms of U.S. Government Issued identification for employment eligibility
  • Candidates may be required to complete skill verification or field-based competency assessments to confirm experience level and qualification for this role.

Travel Requirements

  • This is a nationwide traveling position requiring up to 85% travel throughout the year
  • Candidates must be able to commit to extended out-of-town assignments based on project schedules; return home opportunities may occur depending on project timing and coordination with field leadership
  • Reliable personal transportation is required to travel to assigned project locations. Company transportation to and from job sites is not provided.

This role is NOT suitable for candidates seeking local, home-state, or short-term work only.

  • When assigned to travel, employees receive weekly per diem, mileage reimbursement (as applicable), and compensated travel time
  • Initial orientation and training will take place in Fort Worth, TX (required)


Compensation and Benefits

  • 10 Paid Holidays
  • Flexible Time Off
  • 401(k) Company Match
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • HSA and FSA
  • Disability & Occupational Accident Insurance
  • Company-Paid Life Insurance Policy
