RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICIAN
Del Vecchio Electric • Wilmington, NC • Full-time Reports to: Residential Field Supervisor / Field Supervisors About Us We're a family-run electrical contractor working across the Wilmington area — custom homes, commercial, service, and generators. We were voted Best of Wilmington 2026, decided by the people whose homes and businesses we work in. That's the standard we hold. What You'll Be Doing You'll run residential work from rough-in through final — new custom homes and renovations for builders across Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender counties.
Rough-in:
layout, boxes, wire pulls, panel work, per prints and NC code
Trim-out:
devices, fixtures, panel trim, generator and low-voltage terminations Service work: panel changes, service upgrades, troubleshooting Final testing, inspection prep, and punch What Makes Someone Good in This Job Anybody can pull wire. Here's what separates the electricians who move up here from the ones who don't. You look ahead instead of reacting. You check that you have current prints before you start a phase — and if what's in your hand doesn't match what's on the wall, you stop and ask instead of guessing. Before a trim-out you confirm the house is actually ready — countertops in, mirrors hung, fixtures on site. If it's not ready, you call it in. We'd rather push a day than send a truck to a house that can't be trimmed. You order material a day ahead, not at seven the next morning. When you see something that's going to be a problem in three weeks, you say so now. Communicate like a professional. You talk to the builder's superintendent directly — clearly, respectfully. On our jobs you are Del Vecchio Electric. You give your supervisor a straight status: what's done, what's blocking you, what you need. Good news and bad news at the same speed. You answer your phone. What You Need 3+ years of residential electrical experience, rough-in through trim Working knowledge of the NEC and NC residential code Able to read and work from prints and make layout decisions on your own Reliable transportation and consistent attendance Have your own basic hand tools — we supply power tools, specialty tools, and testers Helpful but not required: commercial or generator experience, low-voltage, service and troubleshooting background, familiarity with BuilderTrend Physical Requirements Regularly lift and carry up to 50 lbs; climb ladders and work at height; work in attics, crawl spaces, and unconditioned structures in seasonal heat and cold; kneel, crouch, and work overhead for extended periods; operate hand and power tools safely. Conduct on Site Most of our work happens in someone's home or on a builder's active site. You'll be around homeowners, designers, other trades, and neighbors. We expect people to be polite, presentable, and fit for duty every day. We maintain a drug-free workplace and a safe-driving policy for company vehicles, both of which are conditions of employment. What We Offer Competitive pay based on experience — [$15.00-$35.00] [Health insurance / PTO / Paid Major Holidays] Steady year-round work with a builder base we've had for years
