Build a Career, Not Just a Paycheck

If you're a good electrician, you probably have options.

We're looking for an experienced residential electrician who takes pride in their craft, enjoys solving problems, communicates well with homeowners, and wants to keep getting better.

In return, we want to provide a place where you can earn a great living, develop your skills, build a career, and be part of a team you're proud to represent.

That's what we're building at Kanon Electric.

What You Should Know Up Front

We believe in being clear about expectations before you apply.

This is residential service. You'll work directly with homeowners in their homes. Being able to communicate, solve problems, and provide exceptional service is just as important as your technical ability.

The schedule is Monday–Friday, five 8-hour days.

We invest in our people. Training, coaching, technical education, and professional development are part of working at Kanon.

We have high standards. We expect quality workmanship, professionalism, accountability, excellent customer service, and a commitment to safety.

If that sounds like the kind of company you're looking for, keep reading.

Who We Are

Kanon Electric is a family-owned residential electrical service company based in Milton, Washington. We've been serving homeowners in our community since 2006.

The word Kanon comes from a Greek word meaning "the standard of measure."

That's more than just our name. It's what we strive to be—the standard homeowners measure other electrical companies against.

We're proud to have been recognized as a Great Place to Work, and we're committed to continuing to build a company where great people can build long-term careers.

Our Core Values

How we do the job matters just as much as the job itself.

  • Great Attitude
  • Do the Right Things
  • Accountability
  • Service Over Self
  • Professionalism

We're looking for electricians who share those values.

What You'll Do

As a Residential Service Electrician, you'll:

  • Troubleshoot and diagnose residential electrical problems
  • Perform residential electrical repairs, replacements, and installations
  • Evaluate electrical systems and identify safety concerns
  • Communicate directly with homeowners about what you find
  • Explain solutions and provide options clearly and professionally
  • Help customers make informed decisions about their homes
  • Perform high-quality, code-compliant work
  • Maintain accurate job documentation
  • Take care of your company vehicle, tools, and equipment
  • Participate in ongoing technical, safety, customer-service, and professional-development training

You'll have a lot of responsibility because our customers are trusting you with their homes.

Compensation & Benefits

Most experienced electricians joining Kanon start around $40/hour, with starting pay based on experience, licensing, qualifications, and overall fit for the position.

We believe strong performance should create opportunities for increased compensation. Pay is reviewed as technicians demonstrate proficiency and performance, and additional incentive compensation opportunities may be available.

Many of our experienced technicians progress beyond their initial starting rate. At $40–$45/hour, annualized base earnings are approximately $83,000–$94,000 before additional incentives or overtime.

We offer:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement benefits (IRA with 3% match)
  • Paid time off
  • Paid training and continuing education
  • Year-round work
  • Company-provided service vehicle for work-related use
  • Ongoing technical and professional development
  • Career advancement and leadership opportunities

We want great electricians to have the opportunity to build great careers.

Who We're Looking For

You'll likely thrive at Kanon if you:

  • Hold the appropriate Washington electrical license for the position
  • Have residential electrical troubleshooting and service experience
  • Take pride in high-quality workmanship
  • Enjoy working directly with homeowners
  • Communicate clearly and professionally
  • Are dependable and accountable
  • Appreciate clear expectations
  • Are receptive to coaching and want to continue improving
  • Take safety seriously
  • Have a valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
  • Are comfortable using tablets, mobile devices, and basic computer applications
  • Can perform the essential physical functions of residential electrical work, with or without reasonable accommodation

Technical ability is important. Character, communication, and professionalism matter too.

Safety-Sensitive Position

This position is designated as safety-sensitive due to the nature of the work, including working on and around electrical systems, operating company vehicles, using tools and equipment, climbing ladders, and working at heights.

Following a conditional offer of employment, candidates may be required to successfully complete applicable:

  • Drug screening
  • Criminal background check
  • Motor vehicle record review
  • Driver's license verification
  • Electrical license verification

All screening and employment decisions are conducted consistent with applicable federal, state, and local law.

Is Kanon the Right Fit for You?

We're not trying to be the right company for every electrician. We're looking for people who take pride in their craft, care about the customers they serve, take ownership of their work, and want to build a great career.

If you're looking for a company that will invest in you, challenge you to grow, recognize strong performance, and give you opportunities to build your future, we'd like to meet you.

Apply today and let's have a conversation about where you want to go in your career—and what you could build with Kanon Electric.
