Swink Electric is hiring licensed service electricians in the Wellington area! Our shop is about a half hour from your driveway. Your pay will depend on your license and experience, ranging from $29 to $36/hour. It comes with a take-home van, and we share your goal of being home for dinner every night. No travel crews. No storm chasing. Definitely no sixty-hour weeks framing out a tract development in the July sun.
What is the Job
Swink Electric is a residential and light commercial service contractor. You will be using your electrical skills to diagnose and fix real problems in real houses and small commercial buildings across Palm Beach and Martin Counties. You will not be driving to the same empty building with no drywall hundreds of times.
A normal week looks like this:
- 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 be the face of Swink Electric to our customers; they will talk to you and rely on you to assess the problem, explain it clearly, and fix it. Those who like to be in charge of their own work, like to figure out issues, and be the person to also figure out the solution, this job is for you.
What the Job is Not
Swink Electric is owned and operated by a family that values time just as much as you do.
- 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
Swink Electric is open Monday through Friday during normal daytime hours. We have no on-call rotation. Yes, emergencies happen, and someone may need us occasionally. However, that would be the exception, not the rule. Your weekends are yours, plain and simple.
Pay and Benefits
You can expect your pay to fall between $29 and $36/hour, depending on your license and experience. That would put your 40-hour workweek at 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.
Why the take-home van matters if you live in Wellington, FL
Our shop is about half an hour across Highway 98 from Wellington. Not a bad commute, but it won’t always matter.
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 over to the office 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.
