Journeyman Electrician

Job Description

Job Description

Most electricians are looking for a job. We're looking for someone who can't work for people who don't care how it's done.

Plesh Electric has been doing electrical work in New Jersey for 30 years. Residential and commercial — panels, service upgrades, generator installations, rewires, and new construction. We built our reputation the same way every time: show up when we say we will, do the work right, leave the site clean. We're growing — multiple crews, a generator division that's expanding, a $5M target we're building toward — and we need another electrician who holds themselves to the same standard.

We're not hiring for a position. We're recruiting a craftsman who wants to run jobs, not just work them.

THE PAY

$25–$38/hour based on experience. Where you start depends on what you bring. Where you land depends on how you perform.

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

This job involves physical work — bending conduit in cold weather, pulling wire in attics and crawl spaces, lifting equipment, and standing on ladders for hours.

If you need someone to tell you how to hold yourself to a standard, this isn't for you. If you already hold yourself to one and you're tired of working for people who don't, keep reading.

WHO BELONGS HERE

Craftsmanship is your identity, not your job description. You communicate before someone has to chase you. You see the safety decision embedded in every installation. You want to grow, and you understand that the company's growth and your growth are the same thing.

If you've read this far, you're already different from most applicants.

$25 - $38 hourly

• Execute residential and commercial electrical installations — panels, service upgrades, generator hookups, rewires — from rough-in to final inspection without supervision
• Read and work from blueprints, schematics, and technical drawings; identify and flag discrepancies before they become rework
• Troubleshoot and repair electrical faults, including high-voltage systems, without waiting to be directed to the problem
• Document every job phase with photos and field notes so the next person has everything they need without asking
• Keep the truck, the tools, and the job site clean and organized — every job site reflects the company

Required:

• NJ Journeyman Electrician License (or equivalent)
• 3+ years of residential and/or commercial electrical field experience
• Valid NJ driver's license with clean driving record
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and electrical schematics
• Physical capability for full-range field work (crawl spaces, attics, ladders, heavy equipment)

Plesh Electric has been doing electrical work in New Jersey for 30 years — residential and commercial installations, generator systems, service upgrades, and remodeling projects. Based in Whitehouse Station, serving Franklin Township and surrounding areas, we're the contractor people call when they need someone fast, reliable, and clean.

Tony Plesh personally oversees every job because quality isn't negotiable here. We're not a company that's standing still — we're building toward multiple specialized crews, a generator division that leads the region, and a $5M business. The person who joins now is getting in at a real inflection point. This is a company worth being part of.
