Are you a Maine Master Electrician interested in:

• Setting your own schedule while splitting your time between working from home and in the field?

• Inspecting the work of other electricians to ensure it complies with laws, standards, and the National Electrical Code.

• Driving a company car (for work use only), with no need to pay for gas or wear and tear on your personal vehicle?

If so, consider taking your career to the next level by becoming a state Electrical Inspector with the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation.

While you're working, you can rest easy knowing that you have access to the State of Maine's benefits package, which includes:

• 8+ weeks of paid time off annually (including sick, vacation, and holidays),

• Robust health care coverage for you and your family (that includes wellness programs like no-cost knee/hip surgery as well as unlimited no-cost consultations with nutritional counselors), and

• An additional 13.41% of your salary contributed to your retirement account by the State of Maine.

The Department will also pay for approved 15-hour current National Electrical Code update courses and certification renewal.

During a typical day, you can expect to:

• Inspect electrical installations for compliance with laws, rules, standards, and the National Electrical Code.

• Conduct investigations of complaints filed with the Electricians' Examining Board.

• Advise and instruct electricians licensed in Maine on correctly using and implementing state laws and national codes.

• Coordinating travel arrangements to inspection sites, which may involve reimbursable overnight stays.

Because this work involves enforcing electrical codes for other electricians, private electrical work on the side is prohibited.
