JOURNEYMAN ELECTRICIAN (INDUSTRIAL)

Serve Electric in Grand Rapids, MI

ABOUT THIS ROLE

As an Industrial Journeyman Electrician, you'll lead electrical work on industrial job sites: managing installations, directing crew members, upholding code and safety standards, and representing the Serve Electric standard on every project. This is a field position. If you thrive in different industrial environments and bring the technical depth to hit the ground running on day one, this is built for you.

WHAT WE OFFER

We know skilled industrial electricians have options. Here's why Serve Electric is worth your look:

Competitive Pay: Wages that reflect your experience and licensure
Health, dental, vision, life insurance, and HSA
Company Vehicle + Gas Card: You're traveling to get the job done; we cover how you get there
Paid Time Off
401(k)
Safety-First Culture: Safety Equipment & Uniforms Provided
Real Growth Paths: Foreman → Project Manager → Branch Manager. We promote from within and mean it
In-House Apprenticeship Program: Help develop the next generation while advancing your own career

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Directing and managing electrical work on industrial job sites
Inspecting installations to ensure quality and code compliance
Upholding and enforcing job site safety standards
Troubleshooting complex electrical issues from start to finish, often without schematics or full operator information
Reading and interpreting blueprints, rough sketches, plans, drawings, and specifications
Wiring 120V, 480V, and low voltage systems
Working with lighting, transformers, motor controls, and switchboards
Measuring, threading, bending, and running EMT and rigid conduit (½" – 4")
Sizing feeders and understanding tooling requirements for each job
Mentoring and training apprentices and newer electricians
Communicating clearly with customers, the service manager, and the team
Organizing and planning projects of varying scale
Attending job site meetings and contributing to project coordination

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

Industrial experience is strongly preferred for this role.
