Residential Service Electrician — Service & Sales Career Track

Monday–Friday • No Weekends • Take-Home Truck • 100% Family Medical Covered

Year 1 Realistic: $75K–$100K

Year 2 Top Performers: $130K–$180K+ Uncapped

Centennial, CO — serving the Denver Metro Area

At Bell, we believe a great electrician is more than a great installer. The best electricians in Denver are craftsmen who can read a job, give a homeowner real options, and build long-term trust. That's the kind of electrician we're hiring — and the kind of career we're building.

How We Hire

We hire the person, then build the skills. We'd rather bring on a sharp, motivated electrician with a great attitude and grow them into a top performer than hire purely on a resume. That means if you've got the license, the work ethic, and the willingness to learn — we want to talk.

There's one exception: you have to be comfortable with technology. Bell is a tech-forward company. We run on ServiceTitan, work from iPads in the field, present financing options digitally, and adopt new tools as they prove themselves. Electricians who embrace the technology ramp faster, communicate better with customers, and tend to thrive here.

The Role — Install Today, Sell Tomorrow

This is a residential electrician role with a clear path into a sales-driven service career. You'll start by installing already-sold work — panels, EV chargers, generators, lighting, whole-home rewires — and learning the Bell way of taking care of customers. As your skills grow, you'll start running your own dispatched service and sales calls.

Months 1–2 — 80–90% installs. Mastering Bell's quality standards, learning ServiceTitan, and running occasional leads as the schedule allows.

Months 3+ — mix shifts toward service/sales. Dispatched to a balance of service/sales calls and installs as your confidence grows.

Year 2+ — primarily service & sales. Running dispatched leads and system upgrades, with select installs.

The exact pace depends on your skill development and the daily mix of installs vs. service demand — but the trajectory is clear, and our top techs make the move quickly.

What You'll Earn

Most performance pay in this industry is a black box. Ours isn't. Here's exactly how it works:

$28.94/hr hourly floor (1.5× Denver minimum wage) — paid during training and any time you're on the clock but not actively on a job. You're never not earning.

7% commission on work you sell — paid the pay period after the job is complete and balance is collected

7% commission on work you install — same terms. If you sold and installed it, you earn on both sides.

Up to 3% monthly quality bonus on your prior month's install revenue — reduced 1% per recall a teammate has to run on your work. Clean work pays you twice.

$30 spiff for every 5-star Google review that mentions you by name (paid monthly with payroll)

Weekly pay — you see the ramp in real time

How Our Pay Is Different

Almost every performance-pay shop in the industry pays hourly OR commission — whichever is greater. That sounds fair until you do the math: in most shops, the hourly is really just a draw against your commission. The company isn't paying you more for the hours you work; they're letting you earn back the floor you were already promised.

Bell pays hourly AND commission. Not the greater. Both.

When you're on the floor for an eligible hour, you earn your $28.94/hr. When you sell and install work, you earn your 7% and 7% on top of that. Your hourly is a true safety net, not a clawback. This is a real and meaningful difference from how almost every other performance-pay shop in this industry compensates their technicians — and once you see it, you don't go back.

A note on overtime: this role is designed around strong performance-based earnings and a Monday–Friday schedule, not stacking overtime hours. You're paid for the value you create, not the hours you clock — and our best techs make more in 40 hours than most electricians make in 50–55, then go home for the weekend.

What We Provide

Full medical, dental, and vision insurance

Take-home, fully-stocked company truck — your mobile office

100% company-paid gas card and toll pass

Company iPhone and iPad — your daily tools

ServiceTitan and all the digital tools that make your day easier

All physical tools provided

Company uniforms

In-house customer financing options to help you close real solutions

Strong lead flow — a century of Denver brand trust and active marketing feeding your dispatched calls

Paid training

A career path most electrical shops can't offer

Your Schedule

Monday through Friday. No on-call. No weekends. This is the schedule the rest of the industry doesn't offer — and it's one of the reasons our techs build careers here.

One non-negotiable: weekly technician meetings at the shop. This is where we cover operational updates, sales training, product knowledge, and the wins from the week. Our best techs treat these as the most valuable hour of their week, not an obligation.

You'd Fit Right In If…

You're comfortable with technology. iPad, ServiceTitan, digital pricing, financing apps, GPS — you adopt new tools quickly and don't fight the screen.

You're already a strong residential electrician. You know the code, the panel, the troubleshoot — and you're ready for what's next.

You like the homeowner conversation. The five minutes in the kitchen explaining the problem is the best part of the day, not the worst.

You believe craftsmanship and great service are the same job, not opposites. You can recommend a panel upgrade without ever making a homeowner feel pressured.

You're driven by your numbers. You want to know what you sold this week, this month, this year. You want the leaderboard.

Recalls keep you up at night. Taking pride in clean work is non-negotiable for you.

You want to build a career, not just clock hours. You're thinking about the next ten years, not the next paycheck.

Where You Might Be Coming From

A union or commercial shop where you're tired of feeling like a number

A small residential outfit that can't give you the lead flow to actually grow

A competitor where you've watched the senior techs cap out and you don't want that ending

An apprenticeship you finished a couple of years ago, with the license in hand and the hunger to do more with it

This Role Isn't a Fit If…

Technology frustrates you, or you'd rather work on paper

You think "selling" and "doing good work" are opposites

You'd rather be handed a ticket than have a real conversation with a homeowner

You rely on stacking overtime hours to make your income — this is a commission-driven role

Recalls don't bother you

You're looking to learn the trade from scratch — this role requires an active RW license

You're looking for a clock-in, clock-out role rather than a long-term career path

The Basics

Active Colorado Residential Wireman (RW) license — required

2+ years of residential electrical troubleshooting and installation experience

Pre-employment background check and drug screen required

Comfortable lifting 75 lbs and working on ladders, in attics and crawlspaces, in Colorado's full range of seasons
