Job description
Master Electrician - Direct Hire
Nationwide Travel | Industrial Electrical Projects
The Adecco Permanent Recruitment Team is partnering with a leading engineering and industrial services organization to hire a Master Electrician for a direct-hire opportunity. This position is responsible for leading and executing electrical system installations, modifications, relocations, and removals at customer sites nationwide while ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with applicable National Electrical Codes and customer requirements.
Compensation & Total Rewards
Starting Pay: starting at $40.00/hour + overtime
The total compensation package goes well beyond the hourly rate. Employees spend approximately 85% of the year mobilized at customer sites and receive significant additional compensation while traveling:
$70/day tax-free per diem while traveling - roughly equivalent to an additional $7/hour while mobilized
Significant overtime opportunities
Company-paid hotels, flights, and rental cars
Mileage reimbursement at $0.725/mile
BCBS Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Disability - company pays 80%
401(k) after 60 days with a 4% company match on the first 5%
9 paid holidays + 1 floating holiday
15 days PTO - prorated during the first year
Employee Assistance Program
Time-and-a-half overtime after 40 hours
What Does the Total Compensation Look Like?
For example, a candidate earning $24/hour and mobilized approximately 85% of the year could earn roughly $80,000 in base wages . When per diem and retirement contributions are factored in, the overall compensation value can approach $108,000 , before considering the additional value of company-paid health benefits.
For a Master Electrician earning $36-$40/hour, the total compensation potential is even greater, particularly for individuals who take advantage of travel and overtime opportunities.
