ABOUT THIS ROLE

This role is tied to a long-term project in Boone, Iowa. Travel to other job sites throughout the United States may be required, and candidates can be based anywhere in the U.S. All candidates must hold an active state-issued electrician license, either a Journeyman/Master Electrician license or an Electrician Apprentice license.
