Journeyman Electrician — Residential EV Charging Specialist

Milwaukie EV Charging Company · Full-Time · In-Town · Reports to the Owner

Tired of data center travel and cookie-cutter tract home work? We're a growing, specialized electrical contractor looking for a strong-bodied, quick-thinking journeyman who wants in on the ground floor of something new: the shift happening in our electrical system and in EV charging. This is in-town work. You come home at night. If you've got a family, like a healthy routine, or are getting bored with repetition, this may be the shop for you. Because we're a small, agile company, you'll wear a few hats. Your main focus is designing, Installing, and commissioning residential Level 2 EV charging systems. We also need strength in panel and service upgrades, occasional service work, and troubleshooting. You'll work independently on-site and talk with customers directly, so we need someone sharp, clean presenting, good with people, and a very positive attitude.

What you'll do

EV charger installs: Instation and commissioning of residential Level 2 chargers, including layout, conduit routing, wire pulling, and final connections
Panel and service upgrades: Evaluate existing electrical service, calculate loads, and perform panel and service upgrades, and sub-panel installs to support EV charging
Service and troubleshooting: Diagnose and repair customers problems with confidence, be able to communicate the problem to customers, and handle some service work.
Site evaluation: Assess power availability, charger placement, and materials needed, and help with estimating
Permitting and compliance: Work to NEC, Oregon specialty code, and utility requirements to get installs ready for inspection
Customer experience: Walk customers through the install, explain how their charger works, help with Wi-Fi and app setup, and keep a clean, professional workspace
