Journeyman Electrician

Licensed Journeyman Electrician - Commercial Maintenance

Department: Electrical / Facilities Maintenance

Location: On-site - travel between existing commercial facilities using a company-provided vehicle

Role Type: Contract-to-Hire, Full-Time

About Our Client

Our client is a well-established commercial facilities services provider supporting maintenance and service operations across a range of commercial properties. The company specializes in keeping existing commercial buildings running safely and efficiently - this is not a new-construction environment, but one focused on maintenance, troubleshooting, and equipment upgrades. The team values technical expertise, independence, and strict adherence to safety standards, and prides itself on responsive, professional service to the facilities it supports.

Job Description
