Every sold job comes to you fully prepared with photos, notes, and a video walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect and can execute with pride.

The Role

As a Residential Install Technician, you get to focus on what you do best: executing high-quality installs and taking great care of customers. You get a dedicated apprentice to handle the heavy lifting, materials, and cleanup--and zero selling or quoting requirements on your end.

• Build customer trust: Communicate directly with homeowners, keeping them in the loop while you bring their projects to life.
• Take pride in complete wins: Wrap up jobs cleanly with straightforward homeowner walkthroughs, photo updates, and review requests.

Who Thrives Here

You’ll love it here if you:

• Want to take true pride in your craftsmanship without being micro-managed.
• Enjoy working with a dedicated partner (your apprentice) rather than going it totally alone.
• Appreciate structured days, clear communication, and starting early to finish strong.
• Like having a real voice in how your jobs are planned and executed.
• Want a reliable long-term career home with genuine room for advancement.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on residential electrical experience.
• Solid expertise in delivering high-quality, code-compliant residential work.
• Valid driver's license with a dependable driving record.
• Strong, friendly communication skills for direct homeowner interaction.
• Comfortable following our standard end-of-job routine (walkthroughs, neighbor intros, and review asks).

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive Base Pay: $26.00 to $32.00 per hour, based on your experience.
• Bonus Potential: Extra earnings via regular performance bonuses.
• Full Benefits: Paid Time Off (PTO) and Health Insurance coverage.
• Take-Home Fleet: Dedicated company van and necessary job equipment provided.
• Paid Prep Time: Dedicated, paid planning time built into your schedule so you're never scrambling.
• Investment in Your Career: Daily check-ins, hands-on training, regular 1-on-1s, and a clear path to transition into sales if you want to grow.

At Hayes Electrical, we give you the prep, the support, and the respect you deserve as a professional trade craftsman. If you're ready for steady work, real structure, and a team that has your back,
