The Electrical Service Technician I is an entry-level, client-facing field role supporting the troubleshooting, diagnosis, repair, and servicing of electrical systems under the direct supervision of a Journeyman or Master Electrician. The position assists with commercial, industrial, and operational service calls, basic repairs and maintenance, and electrical installations. The role also involves maintaining a professional presence on customer sites, communicating with customers and coworkers, and helping deliver timely, effective service. The apprentice develops foundational technical and problem-solving skills while following safety standards and progressing through required apprenticeship training and on-the-job hours. Documentation or a letter verifying on-the-job training hours may help determine starting salary. This is primarily field-based work at commercial, industrial, construction, and customer-occupied sites. Work locations may vary daily and require frequent travel within the service area. Conditions may include indoor and outdoor work, extreme temperatures, noise, dust, confined spaces, and proximity to electrical systems. The role requires PPE and may involve variable start times, extended hours, overtime, or occasional weekend work. Physical demands include lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds; standing, walking, bending, kneeling, crouching, climbing, and working at heights or in restricted spaces; using tools with manual dexterity; and driving to multiple job sites. The position typically follows a full-time Monday-through-Friday schedule, with work hours varying according to job site, service demands, project schedules, and customer needs. A high school diploma or GED, enrollment in or willingness to enroll in a state-approved electrical apprenticeship program, an active Apprentice Electrician License, and a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record are required. OSHA 10 certification and related coursework are preferred. Two or more years of electrical, construction, or related field experience are preferred.
