We are hiring licensed service electricians in Boynton Beach Florida. Our shop is less than 25 minutes from your area! You can expect a starting wage of $29- $36 per hour, depending on your license and experience. You will also get a take-home van to use for commuting to and from work, so you can be home for dinner every night. There will be no travel crews, no storm chasing, no sixty-hour work weeks in the Florida weather.
There are some questions we know you are eager to have answered, like what it’s like working with us, what the benefits are, and what we expect from you. Maybe not in that order.
What is the Job?
We are a residential and light commercial service contractor. You will be diagnosing and fixing real electrical problems in real houses and small commercial buildings across Palm Beach and Martin Counties — not pulling the same home run a hundred times in a building with no drywall.
What does a normal work week look like?
- 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 (more and more every year)
- Fixtures, fans, devices, remodels, and additions in homes people actually live in
- Commercial service calls for small business clients and HOAs
We are not micromanagers; thus, we will rely on you for much of the onsite communication. The customer will be talking to and relying on you directly. On the other end, we rely on you to diagnose the problem and provide the client(s) with a clear explanation they can understand. If you like being the person who figures out the problem and the solution, rather than being the person who does the work for someone else, this is the right kind of shop for you.
What the Job is Not
- We believe that being open about this saves us both some time:
- No out-of-state storm work. You will not live in a hotel.
- No travel crews. Every job is inside our service area, 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
Our shop is open Monday through Friday, regular daytime hours. We do not believe in standing on-call rotations. We can’t control emergencies; they happen in this industry, and you may be needed for those. However, we can promise those emergencies will be the exception, not the rule, and not our standard business model. Weekends are yours.
Pay and Benefits
You will determine the pay based on your license, experience, and ability to work independently on service calls, but it will fall between $29 and $36 per hour. That will put your yearly pay between $60,300 and $74,900.
For context, the average Boynton Beach electrician earns about $28.55 per hour, or $59,380 per year. We believe well-paid teams keep good people around, so we start above the average and are in the 75th percentile for the metro. We don’t need a revolving door.
Additional benefits include:
- 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.
Why the Take-Home Van Matters if You Live in Boynton Beach Florida
Our shop is about 25 minutes from Boynton Beach, down S Military Trail by the Publix Market on Summit. You can get to our office without having to hop on the freeway. However, allowing you to take the work van home means you don’t even have to stop by the office and then backtrack to your first jobsite.
You leave home, go to work, and at the end of the day you drive home. On the days your work is south of the shop, you may never drive north at all.
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 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.
