- General labor with no electrical experience
? These candidates will not be considered.
Preferred Experience
- Exposure to high voltage environments
- Experience supporting conduit installation crews
- Previous work around lifts (spotting or operating)
- Data center or large commercial project experience
Work Schedule & Travel
- 6 days per week
- 10–14 hour shifts (7AM start typical)
- Projects run ~3 weeks per site, then rotate
- Travel anywhere in the U.S. (NJ ? Las Vegas and beyond)
- Must be comfortable being on the road consistently
- No travel companions allowed
Compensation & Perks
- Company-provided vehicle access (team-based) + gas card
- Private hotel room provided
- $45/day per diem
- Overtime after 40 hours
- Paid travel between job sites
Hiring Process
- Resume submission (must clearly show electrical experience)
- Teams interview (camera on required)
- Fast hiring decisions for qualified candidates
Requirements
- Must pass:
- Amazon background check (7 years)
- Drug screening
- MVR check
- Must be able to travel to Lowell, Arkansas for onboarding
Project Timeline
- Current project runs through November 21st
- Potential (not guaranteed) work through holidays
- Project resumes mid-January through end of 2026
Who This Role Is Ideal For
- Electricians with 1–2 years of real field experience looking to break into large-scale industrial work
- Technicians who can support crews while continuing to build their skills
- Candidates comfortable with travel, long hours, and physical work
