The Opportunity

As a Journeyman Electrician at DP Electric, you install, maintain, and repair electrical systems on commercial and industrial projects across the state of Texas. You read the prints, bend the pipe, make the terminations, and deliver work that meets NEC standards and passes inspection the first time, whether you are running solo or working as part of a crew.
