We are hiring! Swink Electric is looking for licensed service electricians, and we are just 25 minutes away from Delray Beach FL. Pay will land somewhere between $29 to $36 an hour, depending on your license and experience level. You will also get a take-home van, a schedule that has you home for dinner every night, no travel, no storm chasing, and definitely no sixty-hour weeks framing out a tract development in the Florida sun.
We believe clear communication is an important aspect of a successful team. Here’s what you can expect:
What the Job Actually Is
Swink Electric is a residential and light commercial service contractor. You will be diagnosing and repairing problems in real houses and small commercial buildings across Palm Beach and Martin counties — no pulling the same home run a hundred times in a building that has no drywall.
A normal week:
- Troubleshooting – dead circuits, nuisance trips, failing devices, backfed neutrals, the stuff that takes an actual electrician to find
- Panel and service upgrades, including meter cans and service masts
- Chandelier Installations
- Condo and Home Remodels
- EV charger installations, which are growing every year
- Fixtures, fans, devices, remodels, and additions in homes people actually live in
- Commercial service calls for small business clients and HOAs
You will most likely be the face of Swink Electric to the clients you work with. That means you will get to size up the problem, explain clearly so they understand the issue and the repair process, and then complete the job. Those who enjoy being in control of your job, figuring out problems, solutions, and implementing them, this job is right for you.
What the Job is Not
- No out-of-state storm work. You will not live in a hotel.
- No travel crews. Every job is inside our service area, from Stuart down to Boca Raton.
- No production new construction. We are not a tract builder’s rough-in crew.
- No mandatory overtime and no regular on-call rotation.
Schedule
Swink Electric is open Monday through Friday with normal business hours. There will be no standing on-call rotation; your free time is your time. We all understand that emergencies happen in this trade, and we may need to stretch to cover those emergencies. However, those emergencies will be the exception, not the rule. We like OUR free time, too.
Pay and Benefits
$29 to $36 per hour, set by your license, your experience, and how independently you can run a service call. At forty hours a week, that is roughly $60,300 to $74,900 a year.
For context on where that sits in this market: the average electrician’s wage in West Palm Beach is about $28.55 per hour, or $59,380 per year. Our starting rate is above that average, and the top of our range lands above the 75th percentile for the metro. We would rather pay well and keep good people than run a revolving door.
On top of the hourly:
- Take-home company van – fueled and stocked. Your commute is in our vehicle, not your truck, and you are not putting miles on your own vehicle to get to work.
- Paid time off
- Paid holidays
- Performance bonuses
- A real path upward if you want it — lead electrician and beyond. We are a small enough team that the person who steps up is obvious, and we promote from within.
What the Take-Home Van Means for You
Swink Electric is in West Palm Beach, right near the Publix. However, you may only need to come to the shop a few times a month. Many days, you can take the work van from your home to the job site without ever stopping by the office. This helps keep up our reputation as a prompt, reliable electrical contractor and makes life easier for you. We love a good win/win situation.
What we need from you
- Verifiable residential and commercial service experience – you can walk into an unfamiliar house and troubleshoot without a phone call for help
- A valid Florida driver’s license and a clean enough record to drive a company vehicle
- Your own hand tools
- The ability to talk to a homeowner like a professional. You are in their house. How you carry yourself is part of the job.
- Bonus points: Journeyman certificate of competency
- We are not hiring helpers or apprentices for this position. This is a role for an electrician who can run a service call independently from start to finish.
