We are hiring! Swink Electric is looking for licensed service electricians in Palm Springs, FL. Our shop is located less than ten minutes from Palm Springs, FL. The job pays $29 to $36 an hour depending on your license and experience; you will receive a take-home van, and we aim to have 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.
What is the Job?
Swink Electric is a family-owned and operated residential and light commercial service contractor. We are looking for people to join the team to diagnose and fix real problems in real houses and small commercial buildings across Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
A normal work week with Swink 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
We like to trust and rely on our team to get the job done. That means you will be the face of the company with most of our clients. You will size up the problem, decide on a fix, and relay all of that information to the client face to face. If you like being the one to figure out the problem and the solution without a middleman, this job is for you.
What the Job is Not
Being up front here saves us all 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 to Expect
We are a family-owned and operated business, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need a break, too. Weekends are yours; Swink Electric is open only during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. Emergencies happen, and we can address them as needed, but they should be the exception, not the rule. There will be no standing on-call rotation.
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 Palm Springs
Our shop is about ten minutes up Military Trail from Palm Springs. 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 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’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.
