Job description

Electrician Helper – Hands-On Training, Real Career Path

Austin, TX | Full-Time | On-Site

Every great electrician started somewhere. This is where you start — learning the trade hands-on, next to the people who already know it cold. Previous solar installation experience is a big plus.

Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install solar panels. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.

As an Electrician Helper, you'll work side by side with a Licensed Electrician, learning the real mechanics of the trade — wiring, circuit breakers, lighting fixtures, racking, and modules — while keeping the job site safe, organized, and moving. Show up ready to learn, work hard, and follow instructions, and you'll walk away with real skills and a real shot at becoming licensed yourself.

What You'll Do

• Observe and assist a Licensed Wireman, Journeyman, or Master Electrician, following their written or verbal instructions on every project.
• Follow all relevant safety codes and guidelines while assisting with the installation and servicing of electrical equipment.
• Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment, and always follow job-specific safety protocols.
• Keep tools, parts, and materials organized, and make sure everything the electrician needs is on-site and ready.
• Transport tools and materials to the electrician as needed throughout the job.
• Help prepare and clean the work site before every project begins.
• Clean and tidy the work area after every project — materials, dust, and debris, all handled.
• Assist with other duties as assigned by the Electrician.

What You Bring

• Apprentice Electrician License (required)
• OSHA 10 certification (required)
• NABCEP Installer certificate or working knowledge is a plus, but not required
• Previous solar installation experience strongly preferred
• Valid driver's license and a good driving record

The Physical Side

• Comfortable working in various positions — stooping, standing, bending, sitting, kneeling, and squatting for extended periods
• Able to lift 50 lbs frequently throughout the workday
• Comfortable with heights and working in hot and cool climates

What's In It For You

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 100% Company-Sponsored Short-Term Disability
• 401(k) Employer Matching
• Weekly Pay Dates
• 3 Weeks PTO + 3 Sick Days
• 12 Paid Holidays + 1 Floating Holiday
• Hands-on training and a real path toward becoming a licensed electrician
• Upward mobility opportunities
