Industrial Electrician

Serve Electric•Odessa, FL

5d•$28 - $36•Onsite

About The Position

Serve Electric is hiring a Level 2–4 travel apprentice electrician for a 7–12 month industrial project in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, followed by travel to other job sites, potentially anywhere in the United States. The apprentice will work alongside licensed electricians on industrial sites, take on hands-on responsibilities, and progress toward a Journeyman card. Applicants who do not already have an apprentice card or registration from a state can receive help getting registered before starting the project. Industrial experience is strongly preferred, particularly demonstrated experience with troubleshooting, large conduit and wire pulls, motor controls, 480V systems, transformers, and industrial environments. Residential or commercial experience may provide a foundation but is not considered a full substitute for industrial experience. The role includes competitive pay based on experience and level, with prevailing-wage project pay for the Cape Girardeau assignment. The employer offers benefits, travel per diem and lodging, paid time off, safety equipment and uniforms, and an in-house apprenticeship program intended to support development toward a Journeyman card.

Level 2–4 apprentice standing with at least 2,000 documented on-the-job hours.
