Journeyman Electrician (California Certified)
Job Description
Full-Time | Commercial Projects | Solar Industry
Location: California (varied job sites)
Solar Gain is hiring a California-certified Electrician to support our growing portfolio of commercial solar projects. While we’re a solar company, let’s be clear upfront: this role is 100% heavy-duty commercial electrical work. No residential installs, no panel mounting—just solid, professional electrical work on complex job sites.
If you’re an electrician who takes pride in clean installs, code compliance, and getting power flowing the right way the first time, we want to talk.
What You’ll Do
Perform commercial and industrial electrical work on solar-related projects
Install, maintain, and troubleshoot electrical systems including switchgear, conduits, transformers, and service equipment
Read and interpret electrical plans, schematics, and one-lines
Ensure all work complies with NEC, state, and local codes
Coordinate with project managers, inspectors, and other trades on active job sites
Maintain a strong focus on safety, quality, and efficiency
What We’re Looking For
California-certified Electrician (required)
Proven experience in commercial or industrial electrical work
Strong understanding of NEC and commercial electrical standards
Ability to work on varied job sites and adapt to different project environments
Reliable, professional, and detail-oriented (the “close enough” mindset need not apply)
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base pay
Prevailing wages paid when required by project
Full-time, year-round work
Opportunity to work on large-scale, high-impact commercial projects
Supportive team that respects skilled trades (and doesn’t confuse electricians with roof acrobats)
Why Solar Gain
We’re building serious infrastructure that supports the clean energy transition—and we know it only works when the electrical side is done right. You’ll be valued for your expertise, trusted to do your job, and paid fairly for the level of skill you bring.
