Electrical

Electrical work lives and dies by the inspection window and the GC's schedule, so a missing journeyman or a delayed rough-in costs real money. On SKILLS, trade businesses post Crew Needed or Crew Available, then trade structured Coverage Offers to staff residential, commercial, industrial, low voltage, solar PV, or EV charger work. Accept one and it locks into a Work Agreement. Licenses and COIs live in your Compliance Vault.

FAQ

Electrical on SKILLS

What kind of electrical crews can I find on SKILLS?

You can post for or offer the specialties your jobs actually need — residential and commercial electricians, industrial electricians, low voltage and data techs, solar PV installers, and EV charger installers. Postings are tagged by trade and sub-trade, so a Crew Needed for service work doesn't get buried under unrelated low voltage or solar postings.

How do I know an electrical contractor is licensed and insured before they work my job?

Every business keeps a Compliance Vault holding their COI, state and local licenses, and certifications, and a verification tier shows their standing at a glance — Basic, Trusted, or Verified Pro. You can review credentials before you accept a Coverage Offer, instead of chasing paperwork after the crew is already booked.

What stops electricians from getting lowballed on rate?

SKILLS is built to protect fair trade pricing, not commoditize it. Each posting can set an offer floor, rate caps, and submission limits, so Coverage Offers stay inside a sane range and you don't drown in spammy lowball bids. The platform is for execution-phase coverage between real businesses — not a race to the bottom.
