What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensed Journeyman Electrician position at Aria Electrical Staffing?
Santa Teresa, New Mexico Jobsite Location
Pay rates- $65 to $70 an hour
Per diem $150 a day X 7 days
Will be working 6- 7 days a week
10-12 hour days
New Hires :
If a candidate has a NM license, the new hire rate is $70/hr.
Texas JW will remain $65/hr (all other positions stay the same) but please mention that as soon as they have proof of NM license (see below), their rate will be adjusted
Current Employees:(Site team)
Testing:
Texas Journeyman or any eligible Employee (this means anyone with the requirements to test ie: TX JW, Tradesmen, Helpers, etc)
If they take their NM license test, it will be considered an excused absence whether they pass or fail and they will not lose their per diem for the day.
If they pass the test and can provide proof of passing, they will receive a $500.00 bonus
At time of proof of a passed test, they will be adjusted to $70/hr.
NM requires only 8,000 hours of documented on the job experience and no schooling is required, so this possibly gives multiple people the opportunity to get their journeyman license and receive an increase in pay. (I've also attached the form for hours documentation)
I've attached a document from PSI on what the requirements are.
Reciprocity (same application as above which is attached):
If a JW has the ability to reciprocate with NM (such as Texas and Colorado), they will be adjusted to $70/hr when the following conditions are provided:
- A copy of their NM reciprocity application
- Receipt/proof of payment
- Proof of how the application was sent (UPS receipt, tracking number, mailing confirmation, etc)
