The Opportunity

The Apprentice Electrician role is where many electrical careers take shape. Working alongside journeyman electricians and foremen on active commercial and industrial jobsites across the state of Texas, you build real, hands-on skills in the trade. You start by assisting experienced electricians and, level by level, take on more responsibility and independence as your abilities grow.

This is a four-level path (Apprentice I through IV), with each level building on the last in technical depth, independence, and responsibility. As you develop, you may also have the opportunity to pursue our accredited apprenticeship through DP University to formalize your training, though it is not a requirement of the role. Throughout, you work under the guidance of skilled electricians and keep safety and quality workmanship at the center of everything you do.

These core responsibilities apply at every apprentice level. The scope and independence with which you perform them grow as you advance.

Preferred

We recognize that experience comes from many paths. An equivalent combination of education, certification, and experience that results in successful performance of the job is welcomed. Additional education may substitute for required experience on a one-for-one year basis, or vice versa.

Work Environment

This is a field-based role performed on active construction sites, both indoors and outdoors, with exposure to weather and jobsite conditions. The role involves lifting up to 50 pounds, climbing, crawling, working at heights, and working in confined spaces, and requires wearing personal protective equipment. Expect a fast-paced environment that calls for focus, care, and a willingness to learn.
