You will join a team that rewards performance with eligibility for yearly bonuses and supports long‑term financial security through a 401(k) plan with a 5% match. The organization invests heavily in employee well‑being, offering medical insurance that is 100% paid for both the employee and their family after an initial eligibility period. You will receive a company truck and gas card after an initial onboarding period, making field work more convenient and efficient. Paid time off starts at one week and accrues up to two weeks, supporting work‑life balance. The company values growth and continuity, providing a clear opportunity to grow within the service department and potentially step into a leadership role in the future, while working in a stable, supportive environment that appreciates experienced trades professionals. Work Environment The work environment is primarily field‑based, with electricians starting their day at the shop to review service tickets and then traveling to various customer sites. A typical day begins by reporting to the shop, reviewing assigned tickets that outline the day’s service calls, and coordinating with service leadership on priorities. You will then drive to multiple job sites to troubleshoot issues, discuss solutions with the service leadership team by phone or in person as needed, and complete repairs or recommend next steps. Examples of work include diagnosing flashing machine lights, resolving circuit issues, converting light poles to LED, roughing‑in outlets and fixtures in multiple rooms, changing out generators and electrical controls, and performing small remodel or warranty work on recently completed projects. When the service department is less busy, you may work on local commercial electrical projects, often in active construction or renovation environments. The role involves regular use of hand tools, scissor lifts, and boom lifts, and requires adherence to safety practices consistent with OSHA guidelines. During the first few months, you will typically report to the shop daily and use company resources from there; after this initial period, you will be assigned a company truck and gas card for greater autonomy in the field. The dress and appearance expectations emphasize a clean, professional presentation that aligns with frequent customer interaction and on‑site client work.
