Job description

RESIDENTIAL SERVICE ELECTRICIAN

Up to $60/hour DOE

As a great residential electrician, you should get paid like one! Are you someone who knows how to troubleshoot and solve problems? Can you walk into a home and figure out what is wrong and make it right? Are you able to build trust, educate homeowners, be confident in recommending the right solution and leave every home knowing that the customer is safer, better informed, and confident they made the right decision?

If you're an experienced Residential Electrician who enjoys working directly with customers, takes pride in exceptional workmanship, and wants the opportunity to significantly increase your income, keep reading.

If you're just looking for another truck, another dispatcher, and another list of service calls, this probably isn't the opportunity for you.

About Brda Electric

Brda Electric has been serving the St. Louis area since 1989. We've built our reputation on honesty, quality workmanship, outstanding customer service, and doing things the right way. We're not interested in sending electricians into homes to simply patch problems and move on. We provide whole-home electrical solutions designed to improve safety, reliability, efficiency, convenience, and peace of mind.

That means our electricians work on much more than basic repairs. From electrical panels and service upgrades to EV chargers, backup power, lighting, electrical safety inspections, smart technology, and major home electrical improvements—our team helps homeowners understand their options and make confident decisions.

At Brda, we invest in our customers and our people. We're looking for professionals who want more than just another job. We offer a career where your experience is respected, your performance is rewarded, and your opportunities continue to grow.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work directly with homeowners to diagnose problems, provide expert recommendations, and deliver high-quality solutions. Every day brings something different. One day, you may be troubleshooting a difficult electrical issue. The next, you could be upgrading a service panel, installing an EV charger, improving a home's lighting, or performing a safety inspection.

Responsibilities will include:

• Troubleshooting and diagnosing residential electrical issues.
• Explaining repair, replacement, and upgrade options clearly and professionally.
• Helping homeowners improve the safety, reliability, efficiency, and convenience of their electrical systems.
• Performing high-quality electrical repairs and installations.
• Conducting electrical inspections and identifying potential safety concerns.
• Recommending solutions based on the homeowner's needs—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Building lasting customer relationships through honesty, professionalism, and exceptional service.
• Maintaining clean, organized, and professional job sites.
• Representing Brda Electric with integrity in every home you enter.

Our best service electricians educate, diagnose, explain, and provide solutions. They give homeowners the information they need to make the right decision with confidence. If you can combine technical expertise with exceptional customer service, your earning potential can go far beyond an hourly wage.

The Work Is Never Boring

Common projects may include:

• EV charger installations
• Electrical panel upgrades and replacements
• Electrical service upgrades
• Circuit breaker replacements
• Troubleshooting and electrical repairs
• Interior and exterior lighting installations
• Energy-efficiency upgrades
• Whole-home electrical improvements
• Preventative maintenance
• Generator installations
• Battery storage and power backup
• Smart panels and load balancing
• Smart-home and security-related electrical solutions

Brda's residential team provides comprehensive electrical solutions—not just quick fixes.

• Help customers make informed decisions without pressure or gimmicks.
• Complete jobs right the first time.
• Take ownership of their work.
• Represent the Brda name with integrity and professionalism.
• Deliver an experience that makes customers want to call us again.

You do need to be comfortable talking and helping people.

Because the ability to diagnose the problem is valuable.

The ability to diagnose it, explain it, recommend the right solution, and earn the customer's trust? That's where great service electricians separate themselves from everyone else.
