Electricians we place

Every electrician subtype — HireForge screens for the right combination of license class, code edition, and environment for each role.

NEC · Commercial

Journey-Level Electrician

Licensed journeymen for commercial and light-industrial work — office, retail, healthcare, multi-family residential. We verify state journeyman license, NEC code cycle, and commercial conduit experience.

Residential · Service

Service Electrician

Residential and light-commercial service electricians who can troubleshoot, repair, and quote on the first visit. We screen for diagnostic speed, customer-facing communication, and single-phase panel familiarity.

Industrial · NFPA 70E

Industrial / Motor Controls

Industrial electricians for manufacturing, refineries, data centers, and process plants. NFPA 70E arc flash, motor controls, VFDs, and PLC reading — the highest-paying lane for journeymen with the right cert stack.

Low-Voltage · EVSE

Low-Voltage Electrician

Low-voltage specialists for structured cabling, AV, security, and EV charger infrastructure. BICSI, EVITP, and manufacturer-specific certs (Tesla, ChargePoint) — the fastest-growing specialty lane in 2026.

IBEW · NCCER

Apprentice Electrician

Registered apprentices on a path to journeyman status. IBEW/NECA inside wireman cohorts or IEC non-union programs — we verify classroom progression, on-the-job hours, and the tests they've passed.

Master · Permit Puller

Master Electrician

Master-licensed electricians who can supervise journeymen, pull permits, and run project sites. The credential that unlocks contracting, foreman, and $48–$70/hr senior roles across every market.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can HireForge fill an electrician role?
Most employers see a licensed-electrician shortlist within 48 hours of posting the role. Median time-to-shortlist across our electrician-role placements is 5.1 days. For journeyman industrial or data center roles — typically the hardest to fill — the average signed-offer cycle runs ~16 days from posting. That is meaningfully faster than staffing agencies or generic job boards, where journeyman roles routinely stay open 60–90 days.
Which electrician licenses and certifications does HireForge screen for?
Every applicant is screened for state journeyman license verification (TDLR in Texas and equivalents nationwide), master electrician license status, NEC code knowledge at the current adopted edition (2023 in most states), OSHA 10/30 construction safety, IBEW/NECA or IEC non-union apprenticeship standing, NFPA 70E arc flash for industrial work, TWIC card and site-specific safety documentation for refinery and shipyard environments, and environment-specific experience (residential, commercial, industrial, low-voltage/EVSE) broken out separately. You tell us which combination matters for a specific role and we screen to that profile.
Do you separate journeyman and apprentice applicants in screening?
Yes — apprentices and licensed journeymen are screened on different scorecards. Apprentice applicants are evaluated on registered-program enrollment, completed classroom hours, on-the-job hour accumulation, and the rate-of-progress to journeyman test eligibility. Journeyman applicants are evaluated on license class, NEC code cycle, environment-specific experience, and any in-demand specializations (motor controls, VFDs, PLC, NFPA 70E, EVSE manufacturer certs). Mixing the two pools against a single rubric is the most common screening mistake — we avoid it explicitly.
Can we hire electricians across multiple sites at once?
Yes. The Growth plan covers 5 active roles and the Professional plan covers unlimited roles, so multi-site operators (electrical contractors running multiple crews, service shops covering several metros, industrial maintenance teams, staffing firms placing traveling journeymen for data center or refinery projects) can run electrician hiring across as many locations and license classes as needed without artificial caps.
