Journey Person Electrician  / 4th Year Apprentice

Start Date: April 2026

We’re growing. We’re adding another van to the fleet so we can protect the work-life balance we’ve built and continue serving the incredible homeowners and businesses across Guelph, the Tri Cities, and surrounding areas.

Who You Are

You are a dedicated Journey Person or 4th-year Apprentice with a passion for the residential and light commercial industry. You’ve been the lead on jobs, skillfully managing projects and client relations, but it’s your personal qualities that truly set you apart.

You’re direct yet kind-hearted, warm, and helpful. You have a knack for connecting with people and excel at resolving issues with a light-hearted, yet focused approach. You value being part of a team, you thrive on collective learning, and you enjoy mentoring apprentices—remembering your own beginnings and the value of compassionate teaching.

The Role

You will work in a structured rotation between project work and service work.

  • Lead residential and commercial jobs from rough in through final
    Complete panel upgrades, service upgrades, EV chargers, renovations, and new construction
  • Read drawings and execute work accurately
  • Coordinate with other trades on site

You are responsible for job quality, efficiency, and client communication.

 

Service Rotation, Floater

  • Handle diagnostics and troubleshooting
  • Complete service calls and small jobs including taking payment from the customer
  • Perform repairs, upgrades, and corrections
  • Support project crews with material runs and on site assistance as needed
  • Keep jobs moving when schedules shift 

Service days may be scheduled in advance or built the morning of. You are paid consistently regardless of call volume.

We work in:

  • Custom homes
  • Renovations and additions
  • Panel and service upgrades
  • EV charger installations
  • Commercial tenant improvements
  • Older homes with tight spaces and retrofit challenges 

You must be comfortable working in attics, crawlspaces, at heights, and in active construction environments.

Qualifications

  • Licensing: Valid Ontario 309A Construction & Maintenance Electrician license OR a registered 4th-year apprentice in good standing with Skilled Trades Ontario.

  • Driving: Valid Ontario G Class Driver’s License with a clean abstract.
  • Logistics: Ability to take a company van home each night and have a reliable/safe place to park it.
  • Safety: Working at Heights and WHMIS certification (preferred, but we can help you update these).

 

It’s Got To Be A Fit

Your attitude matters as much as your license. We are looking for:

  • The Trusted Advisor: Since we use a Flat Rate model, you aren’t just billing hours. You are an expert who can walk a client through their options, explain the “why” behind a repair, and help them make the best decision for their home.
  • A Yes, and… Mindset: You’re the kind of person who looks for solutions rather than obstacles.
  • Coachability: You see feedback as a golden opportunity to get better, not a personal attack.
  • The Fun Factor: We work hard, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We want people who can have a laugh, enjoy the day, and be a “yes” to the team.

Working Conditions

  • Hours: Generally 8:00 am – 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday.
  • Environment: You’ll be working on active construction sites and in client homes. This involves exposure to standard electrical hazards and construction environments.
  • Physicality: You’ll need to be able to lift up to 50 lbs and handle heavy equipment/ladders.
  • Spaces: Work often involves tight/confined spaces (attics/crawls) or working at heights.
  • Safety: Personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory and provided.

Why You Want To Work Here

  • Real Work-Life Balance: You want to be home with your family. We don’t often work past 4:30 pm, and your weekends belong to you. There is no emergency after-hours work.
  • Organized & Paperless: We provide a company tablet and use modern software to keep your day organized and your paperwork digital.
  • Organized Flow: We stage the materials so you aren’t starting your morning with a stressful supplier run.
  • Full Health Benefits & Security: $37.00/hr, 3 weeks paid holiday, plus 7 “no-questions-asked” personal days.
  • Growth: A Tool/Educational Allowance and a team that genuinely cares about your goals.
