Industrial Electrician
About The Position
Serve Electric is hiring a Level 2–4 travel apprentice for a 7–12 month industrial project in the Miami area. After that project, the apprentice will travel to other job sites, most likely in Florida and potentially elsewhere in the U.S. The role involves working on industrial job sites alongside Journeyman electricians, taking on practical responsibilities while progressing toward a Journeyman card. Applicants must be registered electrical apprentices or willing to complete registration with the company’s help. Demonstrated industrial electrical experience is strongly preferred; residential or commercial experience alone may not meet the role’s demands. The position includes structured development through an in-house apprenticeship program, prevailing-wage project pay for the Miami assignment, and travel support. The apprentice performs and assists with industrial electrical installation, inspection, troubleshooting, wiring, and conduit work while following applicable safety standards and electrical codes.
