Our benefits
Electrician jobs with real benefits.
Every position comes with employer-paid healthcare and employer-paid retirement. Members also get a life insurance policy that covers them on and off the job, plus access to incentives, discounts and free programs.
Healthcare
Employer-paid health care, with family coverage at no extra cost on most positions. Many also let you build a coverage bank, so your insurance continues if you can't work due to injury or illness.
Retirement
Build at least two employer-paid retirement plans. If you move to another area or contractor, the contributions keep going into the same plans.
On the check
No paying for your own healthcare and retirement out of pocket, so more of your hourly rate ends up as take-home pay.
Conditions
Every contractor is bound to a written, enforceable contract that guarantees your wages, benefits and working conditions, and gives you a voice on the job.
