Important:
Do not bid on jobs without proper electrical licensing, required skills or certification. When picking up your job referral in person at Dispatch you will be required to prove you possess the required skill or certification before being dispatched. All inside wireman calls will require a state electrical license except for tool support or project manager/estimator calls. If you can not be dispatched because you lack this proof, the job will go unfilled and harm others qualified to take the call.
