About the role

If you know your way around switchgear, breakers and a power factor test set, we want to talk to you. We're hiring union field technicians to test, commission and maintain electrical power equipment. You'll work on real infrastructure — substations, industrial plants, data centers.

We have openings at every level, Level I through IV. Whether you're an experienced NETA tech ready to lead crews or a sharp electrical hand working toward your first certification, there's a spot for you here, plus a clear path to move up.

• Overtime that pays: Time-and-a-half after 8 hours a day, double time after 10.
• Union medical and dental for you and your family.
• Union pension — real retirement security, not just a 401(k).
• Travel covered: Per diem and hotel paid when you're on the road.
• Relocation assistance for the right candidates.
• Room to grow: Structured advancement from Level I to IV, with support toward NETA certification.

What you'll do

• Test, inspect and maintain medium- and high-voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, transformers, relays and cable.
• Run high-voltage test equipment, including power factor (Doble or equivalent), insulation resistance, contact resistance, TTR and hipot test sets.
• Commission new installations and verify equipment is ready to energize.
• Support planned outages and respond to emergency calls when customers need help fast.
• Document test results clearly and accurately, and flag issues before they become failures.
• Follow NFPA 70E and site safety practices on every job.
• Level III–IV: Lead jobsites, coordinate with customers, and mentor apprentices and junior techs.

What you bring

• NETA certification at any level (I–IV), or relevant electrical testing or maintenance experience and a commitment to getting certified.
• Hands-on experience with power factor or high-voltage testing strongly preferred.
• Comfort reading one-lines, schematics, and test procedures.
• Willingness to travel 25–50%. Our client focuses on keeping you local as possible.
• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
• A safety-first mindset and the ability to work independently or as part of a crew.
