Residential Specialty (02) Journeyman Electrician — Service $45.00 / hour Full benefits Take-home van Full-time
ABOUT THE ROLE
Provident Electric is hiring an experienced 02 Journeyman Electrician to run our residential service work. This is not an entry-level seat and it is not a helper job. We are looking for the electrician other electricians call when they get stuck — someone who can be handed a service address in the morning, walk in cold, diagnose it, price it, sell it, install it, and leave a customer who asks for you by name the next time something goes wrong. If you have spent years building that skill set and you are tired of being paid like you haven't, this is the seat.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
Service panel replacements and upgrades — load calculations, utility coordination, cutover, and final walkthrough start to finish Circuit additions and rewires — kitchens, baths, garages, EV chargers, hot tubs, generators, dedicated equipment circuits Whole-home surge protection — install it and explain the value to the homeowner Troubleshooting — open neutrals, nuisance trips, aluminum branch wiring, failed devices, and older panels that need a real diagnosis, not a guess Lighting, device, fan, and fixture installations Walking the home, building the options, and presenting good / better / best pricing to the homeowner in plain english
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required Current Washington 02 Residential Specialty Journeyman certificate (or 01 General Journeyman) in good standing Proven residential service experience — panel changes, circuit adds, surge protection, troubleshooting, and installs performed independently Able to take a job start to finish without a supervisor on site Valid driver's license and a record clean enough to drive a company vehicle Comfortable working in attics, crawlspaces, and older homes Strongly Preferred Customer service and in-home sales experience — you can build trust at the door, explain the "why" behind the price, and close the ticket without pressure tactics A track record of good reviews, referrals, and repeat requests Experience presenting options and generating add-on work The honest version: we need someone well-rounded enough that when we dispatch you, we know the job comes back done and the customer comes back happy. Technical skill alone won't cut it here, and neither will a good personality with weak hands. We need both.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
$45.00 per hour Medical, dental, and vision insurance HSA 401(k) with 3% company match 2 weeks paid vacation 1 week paid sick leave Paid holidays Take-home company van and gas card Company phone Tools, materials, and truck stock supplied Continuing education and license renewal supported
WHY PROVIDENT
Provident Electric is an established, well-run operation — not a startup still finding its footing. The systems, the backing, the reputation, and the work are already here. What is growing is the service department, and that is the seat you would be stepping into — an established company putting real weight behind service, with the person in this chair helping shape how it runs. Your input actually changes the way we do things, and as call volume climbs you are first in line for the lead and management opportunities that come with it. There is real earning upside here for someone who can sell as well as they can install. We run clean, we do it right, and we back our people.
