Summary
I’m a new journeyman, I got my license in December of 2025 and since then have been running projects managing small crews for 2-10 guys independently on jobs. I’ve been an electrician for 6 years with completion of a 4 year apprenticeship program taking my knowledge of different commercial, residential and industrial projects as a leader to complete jobs in the required time periods under high stress conditions and limited time to complete projects.
