Traveling Electrical Apprentice

PRICE ELECTRIC is looking for reliable, team-oriented Electrical Helpers/Apprentices with a minimum of two years of experience to travel from site to site for job assignments lasting one month to over a year.
This Traveling Apprentice would likely get assigned to a job in Ohio or South Dakota to start out. Past jobs include anything from hydro-electric dams, wastewater treatment facilities, steel mills, and agriculture facilities.
There are many reasons for a Traveling Electrical Helper/Apprentice to work for Price Electric:

• The apprenticeship program allows participants to earn while they learn for a great career! Sponsored apprentices have half of the class fees paid for by the company at the beginning of each of the four levels and participants are reimbursed for all or some of their half based on their grade for the level (e.g., 100% reimbursement for receiving an A, 80% reimbursement for receiving a B).
• Our traveling workforce is provided an incentive to manage their relocation to assigned job sites.
• Our culture on the job site sets us apart.
  
  • Our work hard, play hard approach and celebrating how we live out our core values has been a foundation of our success for 26 years.
• Our jobs are well planned and organized, and we communicate daily through company apps, project leaders, newsletters, Teams meetings, and more.
• Our dedication to continuous training and development and merit-based rewards for quality, timely job completion help us retain great talent.
• Our affordable elective medical and dental insurance benefit offering with national carriers; company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability and vision insurance; and 401(k) plan option (Roth and pre-tax) with 50% company match on the first 6% an employee defers are highly regarded.
• Our company clothing, discounted tool purchase program, and safety boot reimbursement hit the mark.
• Our accrued Paid Time Off and company-paid holidays start on day 1 and aid work/life balance.

Under the supervision of a Journeyman Electrician and/or Frontline Supervisor, an Electrical Apprentice works side by side with field operations personnel to assist with layout, installation, alteration and repair of electrical wiring, apparatus and equipment in Heavy Commercial and Industrial settings. This includes material handling; equipment handling, operation and light maintenance; job site cleaning; and completion of job hazard analysis and other required reporting.
Complying with all safety requirements and processes, Electrical Apprentices help the team meet high production and quality standards. This takes proven reliability; effective communication and interaction skills; good time management and organization; ability to read, learn and understand construction drawings and National Electrical Code and local codes; and a high school diploma or GED to be considered for the registered apprenticeship program.
Physical demands include, but are not limited to, the ability to work 40 or more hours per week; frequent lifting of up to 50 lbs. and occasional lifting of up to 80 lbs.; occasional lifting from floor to above shoulder; continuous standing, walking and/or climbing; regular squatting, kneeling and sitting; repetitive use of hands for frequent grasping, pushing and pulling and fine motor coordination; repetitive use of feet for operating equipment, conduit benders and vertical climbing; adequate balance for frequent climbing; and adequate vision for blueprint reading and color coding to identify wire.
Since the job requires travel to and from job sites where work is typically performed, a reliable source of transportation is needed. Work may be performed indoors or outdoors in varied weather conditions.
Any offer is contingent upon successfully passing a drug test and background screening.
PRICE ELECTRIC will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship. PRICE ELECTRIC will not discriminate against applicants or employees based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, genetic information, age or disability.
