Job description

As overseers of electricity, Interior Electricians are valuable to the operations of the Army National Guard. They’re the Soldiers who light the way for their crews by installing and repairing wire systems in offices, repair shops, airplane hangars, and other buildings.

As an Interior Electrician, you will install and wire electrical hardware like transformers, junction boxes, service panels, electrical boxes, switches, and circuit breakers. This requires the knowledge of trade tools and the ability to read blueprints and wiring plans. You will also ensure the safety of electrical work and systems using test meters.

Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience to enjoy a civilian career in commercial and residential contracting for public utility companies, commercial contractors, or as a self-employed contractor.

Earn While You Learn

Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to train. In the Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition assistance.
