Journeyman Residential Service Electrician
Description
We're looking for a licensed journeyman electrician who can earn a homeowner's trust, diagnose electrical problems accurately, and complete clean, dependable repairs. Our goal is to hire a reliable professional for a long-term role.
The work is primarily residential service, troubleshooting, repairs, and improvements, with commercial electrical work as projects require. You should be comfortable handling a service call from the first conversation through testing, cleanup, and a clear explanation of the completed work.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Listen to customers, ask useful questions, troubleshoot systematically, and explain the problem in plain language.
- Diagnose and repair issues involving circuits, breakers, receptacles, GFCIs, switches, lighting, and other residential electrical systems.
- Perform electrical installations and upgrades within your qualifications and the company's authorized scope.
- Explain repair options and prepare accurate estimates using company pricing; obtain customer approval before starting additional work.
- Identify relevant safety improvements and additional services that benefit the customer. Honest recommendations and customer choice are part of the job—no scare tactics or unnecessary work.
- Perform commercial work such as branch circuits, devices, lighting, EMT conduit, and equipment connections; read plans and coordinate with other trades.
- Follow applicable electrical codes, safe work practices, and company procedures. Know when to stop and ask for technical support.
- Record findings, photos, materials, labor, and completed work in our service software; keep customers and the office informed.
- Protect the customer's property, maintain an organized work area, test your work, and leave the site clean.
- A current, verifiable journeyman electrician license or certificate of competency. Include the credential type, issuing jurisdiction, and expiration date when applying.
- Proven experience independently troubleshooting and completing residential service calls.
- The ability to perform commercial electrical work, including EMT installation and reading electrical plans.
- Professional, respectful communication and confidence discussing scope, pricing, and service options with homeowners.
- Strong judgment, dependable attendance, attention to detail, and pride in workmanship.
- A valid driver's license and ability to travel between customer job sites.
- Comfort using a smartphone or tablet for estimates, work orders, photos, and customer approvals. Housecall Pro experience is a plus.
- Ability to perform the essential field duties safely, with or without reasonable accommodation.
