Service Electrician

About CVM Electric

CVM Electric is a fourth-generation, family-owned electrical contracting firm serving the Western New York region since 1919, delivering commercial, industrial, and residential electrical solutions across the full spectrum of construction and service work. We value independence and expertise in the field, and we give our service technicians the tools, vehicle, and support to represent CVM at the highest level.

The Role

The Service Electrician is a senior-level, largely independent field position responsible for diagnosing, repairing, and upgrading electrical systems across residential and commercial properties throughout WNY. You’ll be dispatched by the Service Manager and will often serve as the sole CVM representative on site, which means your technical expertise, professionalism, and ability to communicate with customers matters as much as your craft. This is not a large-crew construction role; it’s a fast-paced, customer-facing position for someone who thrives on variety, independence, and solving problems efficiently.

What You’ll Do

• Respond to dispatched residential and commercial service calls across the WNY region
• Perform on-site assessment and diagnosis of electrical faults, outages, and code deficiencies
• Complete repairs, replacements, and upgrades efficiently while maintaining quality workmanship
• Perform panel upgrades, service entrance work, circuit additions, and wiring repairs
• Install GFCI/AFCI devices, outlets, switches, fixtures, and related equipment
• Complete generator hookups, transfer switch installations, and EV charging station installs
• Explain findings and recommendations clearly to customers and obtain approval before proceeding with additional scope
• Maintain an assigned company vehicle in clean, organized, and road-ready condition
• Document work performed, materials used, and time on each job accurately
