Power Up Your Career with Better Jobs

We operate on a simple model: electrical contractors pay us only when they successfully hire talented electricians through our platform. This means there are absolutely no hidden fees, subscription costs, or charges for electricians—ever. Your success is literally how we make money, so we're fully invested in helping you find better opportunities.

Absolutely! Many contractors specifically seek motivated apprentices who are eager to learn and grow. We have hundreds of entry-level positions from residential wiring to industrial maintenance. Plus, many contractors offer paid training, mentorship programs, and clear paths to journeyman status. Your willingness to learn often matters more than years of experience.

Our electricians typically see 15-40% salary increases when switching jobs through our platform. Apprentices often jump from $18-22/hour to $25-30/hour, journeymen from $28-35/hour to $35-45/hour, and master electricians can reach $45-65/hour or more. Specialized skills like solar installation, industrial automation, or high-voltage work command premium rates—often $5-15/hour above standard electrical work.

Career transitions are exactly what we excel at! Many residential electricians successfully move into commercial or industrial roles through our platform. We'll highlight your transferable skills—like electrical theory, safety practices, and troubleshooting—while connecting you with contractors willing to provide sector-specific training. Commercial work often pays 20-30% more than residential, making the transition financially rewarding.

Most contractors will want at least a phone or video interview, but many make job offers based on your profile and a good conversation. We've seen electricians get hired within 24-48 hours, especially when their certifications and experience match exactly what contractors need. Your professional profile, work samples, and references often speak louder than a traditional interview.

You have complete control over who can contact you and for what types of positions. Set minimum salary requirements, preferred work types (residential/commercial/industrial), location radius, and even block specific companies. You can also set your profile to "selective" mode where only pre-screened, high-quality contractors can reach out. No more dealing with temp agencies or low-ball offers.

Beyond your basic electrical license, OSHA 10/30 certifications are almost universally required. Specialized certifications can significantly boost your earning potential: NABCEP for solar work (+$5-8/hour), Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC training for industrial automation (+$8-12/hour), Arc Flash safety certification for commercial work, and IBEW apprenticeships for union opportunities. We track which certifications lead to the highest-paying opportunities.

If you're underpaid, overworked, or not learning new skills, absolutely. Many electricians stay too long in dead-end positions. However, we recommend being strategic: use our platform to explore what's available, understand your market value, and potentially negotiate with your current employer first. If they won't match market rates or provide growth opportunities, you'll have better options lined up. Never leave without a solid plan.
