What a week looks like
- Pick up the day's service calls and project work from dispatch.
- Diagnose, quote flat, and do the work clean and to code.
- Label the work, walk the customer through it, and stand behind it.
Who thrives here
- You diagnose clean and take pride in work that passes inspection the first time.
- You can talk straight to a customer and quote flat without games.
- You want room to grow toward master, not a ceiling.
Do not apply if
- You cut corners when nobody is looking. Our work gets walked.
- You want to be handed every step. Service work needs judgment.
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.
