At Mr. Electric of Columbia, we’re building more than an electrical company, we’re building future leaders. In long-established companies, leadership positions are harder to come by since those roles don’t open often and are usually already spoken for. Our mission is to help every team member grow their skills, career, and leadership potential. Whether that means becoming a future leader, or simply being the best electrician you can be—we’re here to support your path. You’ll work directly with the owner, a hands-on leader who rolls up his sleeves, works beside you (not above you), and believes in teaching, coaching, and helping you succeed. We’re even planning a hands-on training station right in our office so you can sharpen your skills on real panels, practice troubleshooting, and keep learning every day. Why Work Here? • Personal Mentorship : At bigger firms, you may not know your boss beyond a name on an email. Here, you’ll work directly with the owner, who invests his time in helping you grow as both a technician and a leader. • Room to Stand Out: In long-established companies, leadership positions are harder to come by since those roles don’t open often and are usually already spoken for. With us, you’re a core part of a new team where your impact is visible and valued. • Clear Leadership Path: As we expand, we’ll need crew leads, trainers, and managers. Those opportunities are wide open here, unlike at companies where those positions are already filled. • Culture of Growth : We prioritize your development whether it’s mastering new technology, earning licenses, or becoming a mentor yourself. Our office training station is being built with you in mind. • Support of a National Brand: While we’re a new local branch, we’re backed by the strength, systems, and reputation of the Mr. Electric brand – giving you both stability and flexibility. What You’ll Get • Competitive Pay: $33-$37/hr (starting pay depending on experience) with potential to make $75,000 in your first year • A clear career path with opportunities to grow into crew lead, trainer, or management roles as we expand • Direct mentorship and training from a leader who invests in your success • 50% company paid health insurance: Medical coverage, Vision Care, Dental Plan on Maryland Health Benefit Exchange (after 90 days) • 10 days’ vacation per year (first 5 years), time accrued afterwards • Retirement benefits, 401K plan with 3% company match (after 90 days) • 7 Paid Holidays • Company vehicle – with take-home use possible, based on location and owner discretion • Company issued iPad • Hands-on skill development through planned training stations and ongoing learning • A chance to shape the culture and growth of a new Mr. Electric branch What You’ll Do • Diagnose and repair residential electrical systems with professionalism and care • Perform installations: panels, circuits, lighting, generators, EV chargers, etc. • Deliver top-notch customer service that reflects our “people first” values • Collaborate with teammates, sharing knowledge and supporting each other in the field • Participate in training and mentorship to continually develop your skills and leadership potential What We’re Looking For • Licensed electrician with residential experience (minimum 3-4 years) • Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills • Eager to learn, grow, and take on new challenges • Excellent communicator who enjoys working with customers and teammates • Alignment with our values: integrity, growth, and service • Valid Driver’s license with a clean driving record About Us Backed by the national Mr. Electric brand, we combine corporate support with a local, people-first culture. We believe leaders aren’t born – they’re made. Today you don’t have to be great, but today you should start becoming great. If you want a place where your hard work builds not just a career but a future, we’d love to meet you.
