Electrician Helper – Hands-On Training, Real Career Path
Austin, TX | Full-Time | On-Site
Every great electrician started somewhere. This is where you start — learning the trade hands-on, next to the people who already know it cold. Previous solar installation experience is a big plus.
Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install solar panels. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.
As an Electrician Helper, you'll work side by side with a Licensed Electrician, learning the real mechanics of the trade — wiring, circuit breakers, lighting fixtures, racking, and modules — while keeping the job site safe, organized, and moving. Show up ready to learn, work hard, and follow instructions, and you'll walk away with real skills and a real shot at becoming licensed yourself.
What You'll Do
- Observe and assist a Licensed Wireman, Journeyman, or Master Electrician, following their written or verbal instructions on every project.
- Follow all relevant safety codes and guidelines while assisting with the installation and servicing of electrical equipment.
- Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment, and always follow job-specific safety protocols.
- Keep tools, parts, and materials organized, and make sure everything the electrician needs is on-site and ready.
- Transport tools and materials to the electrician as needed throughout the job.
- Help prepare and clean the work site before every project begins.
- Clean and tidy the work area after every project — materials, dust, and debris, all handled.
- Assist with other duties as assigned by the Electrician.

- Apprentice Electrician License (required)
- OSHA 10 certification (required)

The Physical Side
