WE’RE GROWING
The GREATER Central Ohio construction industry is growing. We’re seeing billions of dollars of commercial, public, industrial and residential work happening and planned across the state for the next several years.
From solar fields to data centers, to energy storage and electric vehicle charging, the GREATER Central Ohio energy market is expanding and so is our workforce. By joining our team, you’ll have opportunities in these expanding markets and industry recognized training to expand your skills.
Now is a great time to expand your career potential, income and outlook by joining the IBEW.
We need quality people in all of our GREATER Central Ohio markets. People who value hard work for decent pay and benefits. Your experience matters to us.
Higher Wage Packages
You’ll see an instant pay raise and the opportunity to increase your wages substantially when you join.
Our contractors will not negotiate with you to lower your wages to win a bid. The value in having the IBEW negotiate for you through collective bargaining is that you know exactly what you get paid, when you work and that you’ll receive benefits…guaranteed.
IBEW represents you and protects your hard-earned wages and benefits. Our contractor partners understand the value of our highly skilled, trained workforce.
Guaranteed Healthcare
and Retirement
Construction is a demanding and often dangerous profession. Healthcare is very important for our members and their families. You will have peace of mind in knowing that you and your family are covered.
IBEW provides comprehensive healthcare including medical, dental and vision to support you and your family.
As an IBEW member, you’ll be able to retire and have a solid quality of life supported by pension and retirement income.
Community
The Brothers and Sisters of the IBEW are a family. We take care of each other and give back to the communities where we live and work.
Many members are involved in community service projects because we value helping others and making a difference.
If you’re called to serve, we have many volunteer opportunities from supporting Veterans groups to building Habitat homes, that truly make a difference in the lives of those we support.
Negotiated Wage
Increases and Overtime
We believe you should be paid for your standard work and overtime. The IBEW negotiates with our employers so that you know what to expect and what to plan on for your career.
Your career as a highly skilled electrician should not be a guessing game. We know what you’re worth…and we protect it.
Extensive Upgrade Training
The electrical industry is constantly changing and evolving with the advancement of new technology.
As an IBEW Member, you’ll have access to the highest quality training and certifications available for the industry through our many Electrical Training Centers throughout GREATER Central Ohio.
We provide access to the latest courses so you can keep growing in the field you love. If supervision or leadership is in your plan, we have programs to help you navigate that too.
You really can go anywhere from here.
