Entry Level Apprentice Electrician

About DP Electric DP Electric is a premier commercial electrical contractor with more than 30 years of experience delivering complex electrical projects across Arizona, Texas, and the Southwest. As a 100% employee-owned company, we serve a diverse range of markets including data centers, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, aviation, higher education, commercial, and industrial. At the heart of DP Electric's success is its dedication to cultivating industry-leading talent. Through our in-house training program, DP University, we equip employees with advanced skills and expertise to meet the ever-changing demands of modern construction. By combining technical excellence with a client-first approach, we continue to set the standard for electrical contracting in the Southwest. The Opportunity This is where an electrical career starts, and no experience is required. You will work on active commercial and industrial jobsites alongside journeyman electricians and foremen, learning the trade by doing it, and earning a paycheck from your first day. DP Electric is 100 percent employee-owned, which means the people who build the work own the company. We run our own accredited apprenticeship through DP University, so the path from your first day to a journeyman card runs through here. If you have been through a trade school, CTE, or pre-apprenticeship program, that puts you ahead, though it is not required. How It Starts Candidates who move forward are invited to a multi-day bootcamp before any hiring decision is made. Day one is an information session covering who we are, what the electrical trade actually involves, and what the career path looks like. Days two and three are hands-on training with the tools, materials, and tasks you would use in the field, led by people who do this work for a living. You may receive take-home projects or assignments between sessions. The bootcamp runs both directions. It is how we see what you can do, and how you find out whether this trade is what you want. What You'll Do Learn the Trade Assist journeyman electricians and foremen under close supervision, learning the fundamentals of electrical installation. Help install conduit, pull wire, and set boxes, devices, and fixtures as directed. Learn to identify the common materials, tools, and equipment used in the electrical trade. Begin learning to read blueprints and understand how a job goes together. Work Safe Follow all safety protocols and wear required personal protective equipment at all times. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area. Ask questions when something is unclear rather than guessing. Show Up and Build Arrive on time and ready to work every day. Move and stage material, tools, and equipment to support the crew. Participate in training through DP University and progress through our apprenticeship levels. Qualifications Required High school diploma or GED. Availability to attend a three-day bootcamp as part of the hiring process. Reliable transportation to jobsites. Willingness to work outdoors in varying weather and to perform physical work. Preferred Completion of a trade school, CTE, or pre-apprenticeship electrical program. Up to one (1) year of construction or electrical experience. OSHA 10 certification. Ownership of basic hand tools. We recognize that experience comes from many paths. No prior electrical experience is required for this role, and we will teach you the trade. Work Environment This is a field-based role performed on active construction sites, both indoors and outdoors, with exposure to weather and jobsite conditions. The role involves lifting up to 50 pounds, climbing, crawling, working at heights, and working in confined spaces, and requires wearing personal protective equipment.
