PRICE ELECTRIC is looking for reliable, team-oriented Electricians-in-Training/Electrical Apprentices with combined post-high school electrical training and experience of more than two years for our traveling workforce . This group of skilled electricians travel from site to site for job assignments lasting one month to over a year. 

This traveling apprentice would likely get assigned to an Industrial job in Virginia to start. Recent past jobs include hydro-electric dams, wastewater treatment facilities, steel mills, food production plants and agriculture facilities. 

There are many reasons for a Traveling Electrician-in-Training/Apprentice to work for Price Electric:

• For those looking to continue in a formal registered apprenticeship program, our participants earn while they learn and advance their careers! Sponsored apprentices have half of the class fees paid for by the company at the beginning of a class level, 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 job sites and how we demonstrate our core values have been the foundation of our success for 28 years. We’re proud to be a merit shop, and it shows in our professionalism, level of talent and teamwork.
• Our jobs are well planned and organized, and we communicate daily through project software, project leaders, emails, newsletters, and Teams meetings.
• Our dedication to maintaining safe environments and providing ongoing training and development help us retain great talent.
• Our affordable elective medical and dental insurance benefits with top national carriers; company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability and vision insurance; health savings account contributions for employees enrolled in our offered medical 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/Electrician-in-Training 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/Electricians-in-Training 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. Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
