Swink Electric is hiring licensed service electricians, and if you live in Lake Worth Beach, our shop is about fifteen minutes from your driveway. The job pays $29 to $36 an hour depending on your license and experience, comes with a take-home van, and has you home for dinner every night. No travel crews. No storm chasing. No sixty-hour weeks framing out a tract development in the July sun.
Here is exactly what the work is, what it pays, and what we need from you.
What the Job Actually Is
We are a residential and light commercial service contractor. That means you are diagnosing and fixing real problems in real houses and small commercial buildings across Palm Beach and Martin Counties – not pulling the same homerun a hundred times in a building that has no drywall yet.
A normal week looks 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, 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 are the one the customer talks to. You size up the problem, explain it in plain English, and fix it. If you like being the person who figures it out rather than the person who installs what someone else figured out, this is the right kind of shop.
What the Job is Not
Being straight about this saves us both 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
Monday through Friday, daytime hours. No standing on-call rotation. Emergencies happen in this trade and occasionally we need someone to stretch, but it is the exception here, not the business model. You will know your weekends are yours.
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 wage in West Palm Beach is about $28.55 an hour, or $59,380 a 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 inside.
Why the Take Home Van Matters if you Live in Lake worth beach and work for swink electric
Our shop is about fifteen minutes up Military Trail from Lake Worth Beach, without touching I-95. That is a short commute by any South Florida standard.
With a take-home van, it gets shorter. You are not driving to the shop to pick up a truck and then backtracking to your first call. You leave from home, you go to the job, 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.
