About this role
Fountain Services is seeking experienced Commercial Wiremen to join their regional operations across North and South Carolina. You'll work on substantial commercial and industrial projects—the kind that define a region's skyline, from the Charlotte Spectrum Center to university residence halls—installing and terminating branch circuitry, conduit systems, fixtures, and related electrical infrastructure. The role demands solid hands-on skills with conduit bending, wire pulling, code compliance, and the ability to read construction documents and wiring diagrams accurately. You'll also mentor apprentices and junior electricians, so leadership capability matters alongside technical competence.
The position requires at least four years of commercial or industrial electrical experience, a high school diploma, valid driver's license, basic personal tools, and the ability to pass a drug screening. Formal apprenticeship training and OSHA-10 certification are preferred but not mandatory. Compensation ranges from $24 to $32 per hour, with performance bonuses and clear advancement opportunities available.
What sets Fountain Services apart is their investment in people. The company operates a registered apprenticeship program, offers tuition reimbursement, and provides structured leadership development through Foreman and Superintendent Academies. Beyond the standard health, dental, vision, and 401(k) benefits, they foster a collaborative culture and engage actively in their communities. If you're looking for a stable employer with 75+ years in the industry and genuine pathways to grow into supervisory roles, this role offers that foundation.
