Journeyman Electrician (residential)

πŸ’° $40–$50/hrπŸ“ Buffalo, NY🏒 Electrical

What We Offer

Deltex Electric is a family-owned electrical shop that has been wiring Buffalo homes and buildings for about 40 years. We do one trade. The one-stop shops that bought up half the electrical companies in this town charge double for the same job and treat their electricians like a route number. We are the other kind of company. You get your own van and run residential service calls, generator work, high-end kitchen and bathroom projects, and new-build apartment wiring. Right now that mix includes a brand new daycare in the city and high-end apartments in a historic building. Pay is $40 to $50 an hour based on experience, with your own van and gas card. Steady year-round work, paid training to keep your skills current, and a small crew where the owner knows your name and your work.
