We are hiring a Generator Electrician to install, troubleshoot, and service the electrical components of backup power systems. This role handles generator connections, transfer switches, wiring, and related electrical equipment, helping customers keep their backup power systems ready when needed.

This is a hands-on electrical role, not a sales or office position. The right person is safety-minded, dependable, and comfortable diagnosing electrical problems. They take pride in clean, accurate work, communicate clearly with customers and teammates, and know when to handle an issue independently and when to elevate it.

Requirements:

• Experience with electrical installation, troubleshooting, and repair; generator or standby power experience preferred.
• Ability to read wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, and manufacturer instructions.
• Familiarity with transfer switches, electrical panels, control wiring, and generator electrical connections.
• Comfortable using electrical test equipment and hand and power tools safely.
• Knowledge of applicable electrical codes and safe work practices, including energy isolation and lockout/tagout procedures.
• Hold any electrical license or credential required for the assigned work and location. [Confirm required license level before posting.]
• Strong attention to detail, troubleshooting skills, and follow-through.
• Clear, respectful communication with customers, office staff, and other trades.
• Able to complete assigned field duties safely, with or without reasonable accommodation. [Confirm essential physical duties and travel requirements.]
• Willing to learn equipment-specific procedures and complete manufacturer training as needed.

Responsibilities:

• Install and connect generator electrical equipment, transfer switches, conduit, and wiring within the scope of assigned qualifications and licensing.
• Inspect and troubleshoot generator electrical systems, control circuits, transfer switches, and related connections.
• Identify electrical faults, complete approved repairs, and verify proper operation before closing out the job.
• Perform scheduled electrical inspections and preventive maintenance following manufacturer instructions and company procedures.
• Test generator startup, power transfer, and operation under load using approved procedures and appropriate safety controls.
• Follow applicable electrical codes, manufacturer requirements, and company safety practices, including required protective equipment and energy isolation procedures.
• Coordinate with office staff, other technicians, and other trades to keep installations and service work moving.
• Explain completed work and recommended next steps clearly to customers without making promises outside the approved scope.
• Document test results, repairs, parts used, photos, and follow-up needs in accurate job records.
• Keep tools, equipment, and work areas organized, and promptly report unsafe conditions or work outside the assigned scope.
