Interior Electrician

Job Description

As an Interior Electrician in the Army National Guard, you will build the skills you need for a lucrative civilian career while lighting the way for other Soldiers by installing and repairing wire systems in offices, repair shops, airplane hangars and other buildings.

Like a civilian electrician, you will install and wire electrical hardware like transformers, junction boxes, service panels, electrical boxes, switches and circuit breakers. This requires the knowledge of trade tools and the ability to read blueprints and wiring plans. You will also ensure the safety of electrical work and systems using test meters.

Plus, you'll be building a better a future. The skills you learn as an Army National Guard Electrician could help prepare you for a civilian career in commercial and residential contracting. You could work for public utility companies, commercial contractors, or as a self employed contractor.

Earn while you learn

As an Army National Electrician, you will learn these valuable job skills while getting up to a $20,000 enlistment bonus, earning a regular paycheck, and qualifying for tuition assistance. Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to learn.

After Basic Training, where you will learn fundamental Soldiering skills, you will attend approximately six weeks of Advanced Individual Training where you'll learn what you need to get started as an Army National Guard Interior Electrician.

As your skills increase, so will your responsibilities. Advanced Interior Electricians take on more challenging projects including training and supervising other Soldiers as well as coordinating, supervising, and planning of electrical layout.
