Build something you can point to. Light up homes. Build your electrical career.
Cline’s Heating and Air has grown into electrical. We are growing our Gemstone Permanent Lighting business, and we’re looking for the right person to take ownership of the work and grow with it into a meaningful electrical career. You’ll be our go-to person for installation preparation, craftsmanship, customer walkthroughs, and follow-through, all while developing your electrical skills alongside our electrical team.
This is a hands-on position for someone who wants more than a list of tasks. We want someone who notices what needs to happen, comes prepared, takes coaching, and cares how the finished job looks. Tight track lines. Clean wire runs. A system that works the way it should. A homeowner who is excited to show it off.
Permanent lighting will be your primary focus. You’ll learn the Gemstone product, help organize installations, manage materials, troubleshoot issues, and help build the processes that allow this part of our business to grow. You’ll also assist our electricians with HVAC connections and other electrical projects as assigned, gaining supervised experience and documenting qualifying hours toward your electrical certification.
Taking ownership here means being accountable for preparation, communication, quality, and follow-through. Electrical work will be performed under the supervision required for your training level and the work assigned.
If you have solid hands-on skills, take pride in your craft, and want an opportunity to build a career with a company that refuses to be average, we want to meet you.
