Electrician - Generator Installer

The Opportunity

Are you the kind of electrician who takes pride in clean conduit runs, symmetrical layouts, and installations that look intentional — not improvised?

Do you enjoy walking onto a property and determining the smartest, most efficient way to execute a job?

We are hiring a Generator Installation Electrician whose primary responsibility is to initiate and guide generator installations , setting the team up for success and accelerating our installation rate — without failed inspections, rework, or return trips. This is a craftsmanship-driven, field decision-making role – the early decisions you make will shine through to the final product.
