About The Position

This role focuses primarily on building and wiring electrical panels for a large-scale project in Ohio. It is intended for individuals early in their electrical careers with at least six months of relevant hands-on experience. Panel-building or panel-wiring experience is strongly preferred. Commercial or industrial electrical experience is a plus, and candidates with experience in electrical assembly, machine operation, or technician roles may also be considered if they have basic electrical knowledge and want to enter the electrical trade.

Candidates do not need to be enrolled in an apprenticeship program. The company offers an in-house apprenticeship program and may provide bootcamp-style training to help employees work toward an apprenticeship card. The position requires travel to Ohio for the first few months, with expected 60-hour workweeks. After the initial assignment, the role transitions to full-time travel work across the United States.
