Your Typical Day
You arrive at a residential property in Brentwood or a commercial site in the Franklin area at 7am. Your crew unloads materials and preps the site while you assist with digging trenches for conduit. By mid-morning, you're mounting light fixtures, learning proper techniques from seasoned installers beside you. After lunch, you test electrical connections, troubleshoot any issues, and organize equipment for tomorrow's job. You're back at the shop by 4pm, paid weekly for your effort, and ready for the next day.
