Journeyman Electrician - Certified

Legacy Electrical Service & Construction • Full-time • Vacaville, California, United States • $42 - $49 / hour • 19h ago

About Legacy Electrical Service and Construction

Legacy is a Vacaville-based electrical and construction contractor serving Solano, Napa, Yolo, Sacramento, and the greater Bay Area. We handle residential and commercial electrical, solar, and backup power — and we're growing our public works and prevailing wage division.

We're not looking for volume. We're looking for a small number of electricians who do it right the first time, take pride in a clean install, and can be trusted on a job site without someone standing over them.

The Role

You'll run and support electrical scopes from rough-in through final inspection on a mix of private and prevailing wage public works projects — schools, municipal facilities, and commercial buildings — with residential and service work in the rotation.

This is a hands-on field position reporting to the Field Foreman or Project Manager. You'll direct apprentices and trainees assigned to your crew.

What You'll Do

Install, alter, and repair electrical systems per the California Electrical Code, Title 24, and approved plans
Read and work from blueprints, single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and specifications
Layout, conduit bending and installation (EMT, rigid, PVC, flex), wire pulling, terminations, and trim
Service changes, main panel upgrades, meter mains, subpanels, and feeders — including utility and AHJ coordination
Install and commission EV chargers, generators and transfer switches, and solar PV interconnections
Troubleshoot and diagnose faults using meters, testers, and diagnostic equipment
Pass municipal and utility inspections; correct deficiencies promptly
Direct and train apprentices while maintaining required supervision ratios
Complete daily reports, accurate timecards, and certified payroll documentation on prevailing wage jobs
Keep a clean, safe, organized work area and participate in tailgate safety meetings

Required Qualifications — Please Read Before Applying

These are hard requirements. Applications without them will not be considered.

Active California State Certified General Electrician card issued by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), current and in good standing. We verify.
Documented completion of a state-approved electrical apprenticeship program. Classroom hours are required — on-the-job hours alone do not qualify. We accept completion from any DIR-approved program, including WECA, ABC, IBEW/JATC, or an approved community college program.
Minimum 8,000 hours of documented on-the-job electrical experience
Working knowledge of the California Electrical Code, Title 24, and local amendments
Valid California driver's license and a driving record acceptable to our insurance carrier
Full set of journeyman-level hand tools
Current on continuing education (32 hours per 3-year renewal cycle)

Preferred

OSHA 10 or OSHA 30
Prior prevailing wage / public works experience
Commercial and industrial experience
Solar, generator, EV charging & commercial battery installation experience
CPR / First Aid

Compensation

Base rate: $42.00 – $49.00 per hour, depending on verified experience, certifications, and demonstrated skill level. This is your rate on private work — residential, service, and private commercial projects.

We also run a steady volume of public works: school districts, community colleges, and municipal facilities. On those projects you are paid the applicable DIR prevailing wage determination for the county and classification, which is higher than the base range above and includes the required employer fringe payments. Overtime, shift differentials, and Saturday/Sunday/holiday premiums are paid per the applicable determination or California law, whichever is greater.

Benefits

Health, dental, and vision — Legacy covers 50% of employee premiums
Paid time off
Retirement plan option
Company vehicle and fuel card available based on role and eligibility
Ongoing training and continuing education support — we help keep your card current

Schedule

Monday through Friday, start and end times set by project requirements
Overtime and occasional weekend work available
On-call service rotation participation may be required
