Benefits
- Take-home van for lead roles
- Paid training
- Veteran-friendly employer
What a week looks like
- Roll with a journeyman or master and learn the day's work.
- Handle materials, keep the site clean, and pick up technique.
- Ask questions, take notes, and build toward your license.
Who thrives here
- You show up on time, every day, ready to work and learn.
- You want a real trade and a license, not just a paycheck this week.
- You take direction well and you are not afraid of the grunt work.
Do not apply if
- You are looking for a desk job or a shortcut. This is hands-on and physical.
- You cannot commit to showing up reliably. The whole trade starts with that.
Tools, van, and pay
Lead roles get a take-home company van, stocked and maintained. We buy the power tools, the meters, and the material. You bring your own hand tools, the way any tradesman does.
Pay grows as you add licenses and take on more responsibility. Under Wattsmith Performance Pay, commission tiers rise as you advance through the career ladder, so the same day of work pays more at every rung. We would rather pay to keep a good electrician than train a new one.
