Journeyman Electrician

You’re a good electrician. You already know it.

Your work is clean. Your conduit looks right. You can troubleshoot faster than most people can explain the problem. You’ve trained helpers, carried jobs, fixed mistakes that weren’t yours, and probably saved your current shop more money and headaches than they realize.

But somewhere along the way, the work stopped feeling like growth.

Maybe you’re tired of being sent into chaos with half the information and none of the support. Maybe leadership talks about “moving up,” but nobody has ever shown you what that actually looks like. Maybe you’re the person everyone calls when things go sideways, but your pay hasn’t caught up with the responsibility. Maybe the shop has plateaued — not enough good work, too much drama, or too many people who don’t take pride in the trade. Or maybe you’re just ready to be somewhere your skill actually gets noticed.

If any of that sounds familiar, keep reading.

We’re Matt and Callie Barbe. We run Barbe Electric Co. out of Lufkin, Texas, and we’re building the kind of shop we always wished we worked at. The kind where good electricians are respected, the work is steady and varied, and the people who carry weight have a real path forward.

We’re growing fast, and we need a strong journeyman electrician to grow with us.

What you’ll actually get here

Pay that respects your skill.

Competitive journeyman pay based on experience, reliability, and what you can actually do in the field. If you can run work, solve problems, and help make the team better, we want to talk.

A paycheck that goes further.

Lufkin’s cost of living is lower than the big cities. That means more house, less traffic, and more life outside of work. For the right person, we’re open to helping with relocation to make the move easier.

A career runway, not a dead end.

We’re scaling. That means real opportunity for the right journeyman to move into lead roles, run crews, train apprentices, help shape field standards...
