ABOUT BLAIS ELECTRIC

We're a locally owned electrical contracting company serving Guelph and surrounding communities since 2013. We believe a trade company can be both deeply human and professionally excellent.

At the heart of our business is a simple belief: relationships matter. We genuinely care about the people we serve and the people we work alongside. We take pride in our craftsmanship, but how we treat people is just as important as the work we do.

Our four values guide us: Relationships Matter. Pride in Our Work. We Own the Experience. We Build It Together.

We've been building a company where people are kind, honest, accountable, and genuinely want to help one another succeed. We work hard, hold ourselves to high standards, have a valuable laugh, and believe in having a life outside of work.

We're growing and adding another van to our fleet to continue serving our clients while protecting the work-life balance we've built.

We're looking for an experienced residential electrician who shares our philosophy, genuinely loves helping people, and wants to contribute to something we're all proud of.

This is where you come in.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

- You're a fully licensed Ontario 309A Construction & Maintenance Electrician with at least 5 years of hands-on residential electrical experience in Canada.
- You genuinely love residential work and can independently run residential jobs from start to finish, without another electrician directing you.
- You know the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and ESA inspection process, take pride in your workmanship, and never knowingly cut corners.
- You genuinely care about people. You take time to listen, connect with homeowners, understand their concerns, and build trust. Helping others is something you naturally enjoy.
- You're honest, kind, and direct. You say what needs to be said, have difficult conversations respectfully, and do what's right, even when it's not the easiest option.
- You're confident, resourceful, and solution-oriented. You take ownership, follow through,



and find ways to make things better.
- You care about the bigger picture. You believe in what we're building, take initiative, support your teammates, enjoy mentoring apprentices, and want the company to succeed.
- You're comfortable explaining solutions, presenting upfront pricing, and recommending work because you genuinely want to help homeowners make good decisions.
- You communicate clearly and confidently in English, verbally and in writing, to explain electrical work, coordinate with teammates, and maintain accurate documentation.
- You hold a valid Ontario G Class driver's licence with a clean driving record, are comfortable with field software and working in attics, crawlspaces, on ladders and construction sites.
- You can provide a satisfactory police Criminal Record Check as a condition of employment.

IMPORTANT: Please read the full posting before applying. Five years of residential experience and the ability to independently run residential jobs are non-negotiable. Commercial or industrial experience alone does not qualify. Please do not apply if you don't meet these requirements.

THE ROLE

You'll be:

- Independently leading residential jobs, including renovations, custom homes, panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, troubleshooting, and service calls.
- Diagnosing problems, planning work, and delivering safe, code-compliant installations.
- Taking time to build genuine relationships with homeowners, understand their needs, communicate honestly, and make their experience easier and less stressful.
- Using our flat-rate pricebook to present various opportunities, recommend appropriate work, and earn client approval.
- Mentoring apprentices, supporting teammates, coordinating with trades, and keeping accurate job records in ServiceTitan.

Yes, sales are part of this role. But our approach is rooted in helping people. We want electricians who listen first, understand what homeowners need, and confidently use their expertise to recommend the right solutions. Building trust and doing what's right for the client always come first.

THE BENEFITS

- Get rewarded for excellent work. $37/hour base plus performance bonuses of approximately 5–15%. That's $38.85–$45.00/hour equivalent when bonuses are earned. Bonuses are performance-based and not guaranteed.
- Enjoy job security. Steady, year-round employment. We don't do seasonal layoffs.
- Have a life outside of work. No evenings, weekends, or after-hours emergency calls. Home for dinner most nights, plus three weeks of paid vacation and seven personal days.
- Work with good people. A close-knit, supportive team that values kindness, honesty,



accountability, and genuinely helping one another succeed.
- Have the support to do excellent work. Company vehicle, tablet, phone stipend, organized paperless systems, modern software, and materials staged ahead of time.
- Look after yourself and your family. Health, dental, vision, extended health care, life and disability insurance, Employee Assistance Program, mileage reimbursement where applicable, paid time off, and company events.
- Keep growing. Opportunities for training, mentoring apprentices, sharing your expertise, and contributing to how we improve and grow.
