Why the trade gets its own board
Search “electrician” on a general job site and you wade through appliance repair, warehouse forklift posts and sales roles that just mention electrical products.
A contractor with a commercial journeyman opening is buried in that noise, and a wireman who wants a new shop has to sort it by hand.
Here, every listing is electrical work: residential, commercial, industrial, low voltage or line work.
Electrical hiring also turns on details a generic board has no field for.
Licensing is set by each state and, in some places, by the city or county too, so a journeyman card from one place may not carry over to the next.
The listings, wage pages and guides on this site are written with that patchwork in mind.
Who runs it
I'm Gabriel Meierotto, and I built ElectricianHires and decide what gets published on it.
What I'm not: an electrician. I hold no apprentice registration, no journeyman or master license and no contractor license, and I have never worked on a crew.
Nothing on this site is electrical code advice or safety advice.
My part is the hiring and publishing side: getting openings in front of the right people and describing each job plainly.
When a page covers license classes, reciprocity or pay, it is built from the board, agency or dataset that publishes the figure, not from my say-so.
Your state electrical board or local licensing office has the final word on what you can do with the card you carry.
Where the job posts originate
Electrical contractors, facilities, utilities and staffing firms can post an opening directly.
The board also collects electrical jobs that employers publish on their own careers pages and public job feeds.
Those collected listings link out to the original post, so your application lands with the company doing the hiring.
Featured is the one paid upgrade that changes placement: a Featured post wears a badge and sits above standard posts on the role and city pages it matches.
Order on the board is otherwise not for sale.
How guide pages are fact-checked
License classes, apprenticeship hours, reciprocity and wages are things electricians plan years of work around.
Getting one wrong can cost someone a test date or a job offer, so every guide sticks to these rules:
- Licensing statements point to the state electrical board, licensing agency or statute that sets them, and to the city or county office where a local license also applies.
- Pages about state requirements show the date the requirement was last checked.
- Wage tables use the Bureau of Labor Statistics wage survey (OEWS) and name the occupation code behind each figure, since BLS groups many electrical titles together.
- Code-cycle changes are described in general terms and pointed back to the adopting authority, never paraphrased into a rule you should follow.
A page will only say a licensed electrician reviewed it if a named, licensed electrician actually did.
No invented reviewers, and no borrowed credentials.
Treat everything here as general career information.
For a ruling on your own license, hours or scope of work, ask your state electrical board or the local authority having jurisdiction.
Spot a mistake on the site?
States change license rules, BLS publishes fresh wage numbers each year and openings get filled, so parts of this site will drift out of date.
Send the page link and the detail that looks off to [email protected] and I will check it and fix it.
Electricians and inspectors usually hear about a rule change before any website does, so those notes are the most useful ones.
