Careers

We hire only journeypersons with a minimum of five years
experience in the commercial electrical industry.  Our screening
process begins with a written exam and personal interview with
our staff.  Prior to starting employment, each employee is
checked for the following clearances:
  • drug use history and testing
  • FBI background check
  • child abuse history check
  • inspection of driving record for the previous five years

Our Apprenticeship Program

Since 1995 we has sponsored over 60 apprentices in our annual
program.  Each year we sponsor about four new apprentices.  
We start the process each year by contacting local technical
schools in Western Pennsylvania to get a list of the graduates
with an associate degree in electrical technologies and science.  

Once interviewed and accepted into our program, we invest the
next four years training our apprentices while they work side by
side with one of our highly skilled electricians. In addition to the
on the job training we will enroll our apprentices into a four year
program at no cost to the employee.  After completion of the four
year apprenticeship program and fulfilling all graduation
requirements our apprentices are promoted to an electrician.

Employee Training and Development

We believe continuous skill development is often required to
keep a step
ahead of the competition and for the safety of our employees and
clients.  Therefore we require our employee's to complete ten
hours OSHA and CPR training.  

As part of our commitment to our employees and clients, we
maintain a drug free work environment.  Random drug testing is
performed to uphold this policy.
