About the role

Wildstone is a General Contractor currently recruiting for a 3rd-4th Year Electrical Apprentice. Our electrical team supports our water/wastewater, energy, and institutional projects collaborating with our in-house Mech/HVAC division to provide control wiring capabilities. We’re looking for a motivated and highly-skilled Electrical Apprentice to join our team and grow with us!

You’ll travel for work to locations throughout BC, the Yukon and occasionally the Northwest Territories. Our crews typically work 21/7 rotations, travel in and out of various locations, work 10-hour shifts on average, and enjoy the comforts of home in well-maintained crew houses.

A little about Wildstone. We’re family-owned and operated, we take on projects in some of the most remote, challenging and exciting locations in western and northern Canada, and our goal is to always make a positive impact through community involvement where we work.

In this role, you’ll work independently, collaborate with skilled tradespeople, and support our Journeyperson Electricians as you learn the trade. Your responsibilities include work on new construction projects, and modernization and upgrading projects – you’ll also handle emergency service calls.

What you will experience day to day:

  • Underground and slab conduit and grounding.

  • Building wiring - typically EMT, Rigid, PVC or Teck.

  • Installation of power distribution switchgear, backup generators, transformers, motor control centers, PLC control panels, VFDs, pumps, and instrumentation.

  • Motor control wiring, process instrument control wiring, and HVAC control wiring.

  • Following the Canadian Electric Code, and BC Hydro, Fortis, and ATCO electrical standards.

We value flexibility, so you'll also be ready to take on other tasks as needed.

What we’re looking for:

  • 3rd or 4th year apprentice with previous electrical experience on commercial, industrial, or institutional work sites.

  • A solid understanding of electrical circuits, basic code, and reading drawings and instructions.

  • Necessary Skills: Conduit bending, light fixture assembly & installation, Teck cable glanding, Unistrut & cable tray installation, electrical switchgear and equipment installation.

  • Able to fulfill the physical requirements of the role.

  • Experience working from ladders and at elevated heights

  • A valid driver's license.

If you're ready to take your electrical career to the next level, we want to hear from you! Apply now and join a company that values your growth, safety, and success.
