Yes, both. GlobalCybers places Journeyman Electricians in IBEW union roles (where the employer is a union signatory contractor) and non-union commercial and industrial roles. Union rates (IBEW Local 134 in Chicago at ~$52/hr, IBEW Local 48 in Portland at ~$46/hr) are significantly higher than non-union rates in the same market.
Does GlobalCybers pay for TDLR license renewal for electricians?
Yes. Active GlobalCybers candidates who are Journeyman or Master Electricians have their TDLR renewal fees covered. This includes annual TDLR Journeyman Electrician renewal ($30) and TDLR Master Electrician renewal, as well as OSHA 30 recertification where an employer requires training currency within 3–5 years.
