Questions Before You Apply?

Do I need a state electrical license?

Requirements vary by location and role. Some out-of-state licenses may qualify for reciprocity in Minnesota, Oklahoma and Delaware, while a Texas Journeyman license is not required to apply for our current Texas openings. Your recruiter will walk you through the licensing requirements for the role and location you’re considering.

Will I need to travel or relocate?

Some projects require you to temporarily relocate near the jobsite for the duration of the work, particularly our large projects in Texas and Oklahoma. Travel and location expectations will be outlined in each job posting.

How does the per diem work?

Per diem is available for eligible employees on qualifying projects. Rates and payment structure vary by project, location and assignment, so your recruiter will walk you through the specific per diem details for the opportunity you’re considering.

Who qualifies for the $5,000 sign-on bonus?

The current $5,000 Electric sign-on bonus applies to qualifying licensed Journeyman positions in Minnesota, Oklahoma and Delaware. Your recruiter will walk you through eligibility and confirm whether the sign-on bonus applies to the role you’re considering.

How long will these projects last?

Many of the positions we’re hiring for support long-term projects expected to run 18 months to 2+ years. As projects wrap up in our current high-demand locations, KE’s growing national pipeline provides opportunities to move to other projects.
