A BETTER Kind of Electrical Career

If you're tired of spending every day doing the same type of installation, residential service may be exactly what you're looking for.

One day you may troubleshoot a circuit. The next you could install an EV charger, replace a service, upgrade a panel, install a backup generator, or solve an electrical problem a customer has been dealing with for some time.

As a Service Electrician, you will:

  • Run residential service calls within your assigned territory
  • Diagnose electrical problems and recommend solutions
  • Present options directly to homeowners
  • Complete repairs and installations
  • Handle projects ranging from small electrical repairs to major upgrades and rewires
  • Work primarily in residential homes with occasional light commercial work
  • Build relationships with customers instead of working anonymously on a jobsite
  • For many electricians, service work is also less physically demanding than traditional construction electrical work while offering substantially greater earning potential.
  • Your Great Performance Can Will Increase Your Income

We believe skilled electricians should have the opportunity to earn more.

We offer multiple compensation structures depending on the position and experience:

Hourly Pay
100% by the hour (plus overtime)

Hourly Plus Commission (Our most popular option!)

Piece Rate Pay
Piece rate pay is a compensation system where workers are paid a fixed amount for each unit of work completed or task performed, rather than an hourly wage or annual salary. Electrician have a GUARANTEED base pay so they are 100% compensated for hours worked but earn a percentage of the work they completed. UNLIMITED EARNING POTENTIAL!
