“Black Cap Electric is a fantastic place to work!”
“Arick and Corrie at Black Cap Electric are some of the best in the business, and they create a team-like environment that makes work enjoyable to be a part of and fun.
I was able to grow as a professional and learn more about the processes of electrical metering equipment as well as supervision of a team while working there and was always supported and encouraged by leaders and coworkers alike.
There’s a lot to be said about incentives that were offered and the company’s commitment to electrical safety and processes.
Overall, Black Cap Electric is a great place to work that values work/life balance and encourages personal and professional growth.”
