Wired Up Electrical is hiring a licensed Journeyman Electrician ready to step up as a Crew Lead on our residential service team. This is a role for someone who's confident running jobs start to finish , diagnosing the problem, doing clean code-compliant work, keeping the customer informed, and bringing an apprentice or helper along with you.
If you've been the person on your crew that everyone already turns to, this is the job where that gets recognized — in your title and in your paycheck.
What You'll Do
- Run residential service calls start to finish: diagnose, quote, repair, and close out
- Lead a small crew on larger jobs — assign work, check quality, and keep the job on schedule
- Mentor apprentices and helpers, building their skills on every call
- Install and maintain wiring, fixtures, panels, and equipment to NEC standards
- Be the face of Wired Up in the customer's home, clear communication, honest recommendations, respect for their space
- Coordinate with our office and other trades to keep projects moving smoothly
- Conduct inspections and ensure safety compliance on every job
What You'll Bring
- Valid Journeyman Electrician License (Virginia license or eligible for reciprocity)
- 3+ years of residential service experience preferred
- Experience leading a helper, apprentice, or crew, or clear readiness to do so
- Strong troubleshooting skills and confident NEC knowledge
- Clean driving record
- The professionalism to work independently and the patience to teach
Pay & Benefits
- $24–$32 per hour, based on experience and leadership ability
- Take-home company vehicle for crew leads (within ~30 minutes of our service area, with a safe driving history)
- 401(k) with 4% company match
- 9 paid holidays — including the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day
- Paid vacation: 2 weeks to start, 3 weeks after 5 years
- 40 hours paid sick time per year
- Annual Christmas bonus
- We pay for your Journeyman/Master Electrician exams — test fees covered, plus a paid day when you pass
- Company-paid life insurance at 1x salary, with options to add more and cover your family
- Dental and vision insurance (50% of premiums company-paid)
- Paid parental leave and bereavement leave
