Job description

Adams is looking for an experienced Journeyman Electrician to join our Commercial & Industrial (C&I) team in Middleton.

This is a great opportunity for an electrician who enjoys variety and is ready for more responsibility. We're looking for someone who is comfortable working on commercial and industrial projects, open to service work, and interested in taking the lead on small- to medium-sized jobs.

You'll have the opportunity to work independently, coordinate labor and materials, work directly with customers and project teams, and help lead apprentices in the field.

What You’ll Do

• Perform commercial and industrial electrical installations, maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, and service work
• Run small- to medium-sized jobs, including planning work, coordinating labor and materials, tracking progress, and maintaining quality
• Complete electrical service and troubleshooting calls as needed
• Read and interpret blueprints, specifications, schematics, one-line diagrams, and wiring diagrams
• Install and troubleshoot lighting, power distribution, motors, generators, transformers, switchgear, control panels, and other electrical systems
• Coordinate with project managers, general contractors, customers, inspectors, vendors, and other trades
• Provide direction and mentorship to apprentices and helpers
• Maintain accurate job, service, labor, and material documentation
• Ensure work meets applicable electrical codes, project specifications, and company safety standards
• Provide professional, responsive service to our customers

What We’re Looking For

Candidates must meet one of the following:

• Have at least 8,000 hours of qualifying electrical work experience over a minimum of four years in the field and be eligible and able to sit for the Wisconsin Journeyman Electrician examination within 30 days of hire

We’re also looking for:

• Strong commercial and/or industrial electrical experience
• Ability and interest in running small- to medium-sized electrical jobs
• Willingness to perform service work and troubleshooting
• Knowledge of electrical codes, safe work practices, and jobsite requirements
• Ability to read blueprints, schematics, specifications, and electrical drawings
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently and manage changing priorities
• Ability to effectively lead and mentor apprentices
• Professional communication skills when working with customers and project partners

Why This Opportunity?

If you’re an experienced electrician who wants more than being assigned the same type of project every day, this position offers a strong mix of C&I construction, service, troubleshooting, and job leadership.

We’re especially interested in electricians who want to take ownership of their work, run projects, develop other electricians, and continue growing within the trade.
