Electrician Apprentice

Most electricians are looking for a job. We're looking for someone who can't work for people who don't care how it's done.

Plesh Electric has been doing electrical work in New Jersey for 30 years. Residential and commercial — panels, service upgrades, generator installations, rewires, and new construction. We built our reputation the same way every time: show up when we say we will, do the work right, leave the site clean. Tony Plesh personally oversees every job because quality isn't negotiable here. We're growing — multiple crews, a generator division that's expanding, a $5M target we're building toward — and we need another electrician who holds themselves to the same standard.

We're not hiring for a position. We're recruiting a craftsman who wants to run jobs, not just work them.

THE PAY

$25–$38/hour based on experience. Where you start depends on what you bring. Where you land depends on how you perform.

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

You're on a job site in northern NJ. It's January. The crawl space is tight, the panel is from 1987, and the homeowner has already rescheduled twice. You pull your truck in on time, document the existing conditions before you touch anything, execute the installation clean and to code, take photos by phase, and leave the site in better shape than you found it. No one told you to do any of that. You just did it because that's what the work requires.

This job involves physical work — bending conduit in cold weather, pulling wire in attics and crawl spaces, lifting equipment, and standing on ladders for hours. Generator installations require precision under time pressure when a homeowner's been without power. Service upgrades in older homes mean problem-solving on the fly when the drawings don't match reality.

If you need someone to tell you how to hold yourself to a standard, this isn't for you. If you already hold yourself to one and you're tired of working for people who don't, keep reading....
