Residential Electrical Apprentice
Kuhlman Electric: Brightening the Path Since 1988
Are you a motivated professional who takes pride in your work and thrives in a fast-paced environment? At Kuhlman Electric, we believe that technical skills can be taught, but character, work ethic, and attention to detail are what make a true pro.
We are the premier residential electrical brand in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. We aren't just looking for someone to pull wire; we are looking for the next generation of Kuhlman leaders who understand that a clean vacuumed floor is just as important as a perfectly wired panel.
Why Kuhlman is Different:
Career Tracks: We don’t just offer jobs; we build careers. We have growth tracks into Service Tech I & II, Sales, and Division Management.
Professional Respect: We treat you like a professional in training with a clear seat at the table.
Steady Careers: Our office team keeps your schedule full. No seasonal lulls or "waiting for the phone to ring."
Premium Support: Modern fleet, professional uniforms, and all the safety gear you need to stay protected.
The Role: Residential Specialist in Training
You will work alongside our Licensed Journeymen to execute projects across a wide variety of homes. Whether it’s a modest repair or a high-end custom install, the "Kuhlman Standard" remains the same.
Precision Installs: Assist in panel upgrades, EV chargers, and lighting retrofits with a focus on "neat and workmanlike" execution.
The "Kuhlman Touch": Maintain a spotless job site. We wear booties, use drop cloths, and vacuum every site. If you take pride in a clean workspace, you’ll fit right in.
Problem Solving: Develop your "old work" muscles—learning to fish wires through finished walls and troubleshoot existing residential systems with minimal disruption.
Communication: Act as a brand ambassador. You’ll be expected to communicate clearly and respectfully with homeowners and teammates alike.
Compensation & Benefits:
Pay Range: $19.00 – $24.00 per hour (Based on your field experience, soft skills, and electrical knowledge).
Growth Potential: Merit-based raises and a clear path toward Service Tech and Management roles.
Comprehensive Benefits: Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance.
Retirement: 401(k) with a 4% company match.
Support: Tuition reimbursement for those attending trade school and significant overtime opportunities.
Time Off: Paid vacation, holidays, and parental leave.
What You Bring to the Table:
The Right Attitude: You are coachable, stay positive when challenges arise, and have a "how can I help?" mindset.
Punctuality: To us, "on time" means being at the job site and ready to work at 7:30 AM sharp.
Attention to Detail: You notice the small things—a crooked switch plate or a dusty floor—and you fix them without being asked.
Reliability: You have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.
Residential Finesse: You are comfortable working in all residential environments and understand the importance of being a respectful guest in a customer's home.
Foundational Knowledge: Some residential field experience is required. You should be familiar with basic hand tools and have a baseline understanding of residential wiring.
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM (Arrival at site by 7:30 AM). Location: In-person (Field based across MetroWest)
Salary : $19 - $24
