General responsibilities will include electrical design and construction support as required for a variety of aviation projects. Many of the expected assignments will be related to developing infrastructure improvements to airport airside electrical systems, including runway, taxiway, and apron lighting and signage, hangar design, and power systems for airfield lighting. The successful engineer will need to be self-motivated, and able to work independently on multiple projects with varying schedules and deadlines. As responsibilities grow, this engineer will have the opportunity to work on airports throughout Garver’s service area. The engineer also could perform onsite construction observation duties, construction administration and submittal reviews for projects under construction.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

- Working with the aviation civil team and your electrical team to develop detailed design and specification documents for airports, including one-line (single line) diagrams, power plans, lighting plans, and required design calculations.
- Coordinating with other support discipline activities on projects, coordinating with regional Garver offices and regulating agencies, construction cost estimating, and quality assurance and control.
- Some regional travel may be required as projects may require field work for site assessment of project locations and support during construction. Occasionally this travel may involve overnight stays. Regional travel is estimated at 5-10% of time, however if desired there will be opportunities to provide full-time or extensive part-time observation early in your career to provide accelerated hands-on learning and provide a grounding for your design work.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Electrician Jobs at Garver Jobs
Align Your Credentials With U.S. Licensing Standards
Before applying, verify that your electrical license or certifications translate to U.S. standards. Garver operates across multiple states, so confirming your credentials meet relevant journeyman or master electrician requirements signals you can step into project work without delays.
Target Garver's Infrastructure Project Locations Specifically
Garver staffs Electricians across water, transportation, and federal infrastructure projects. Search by regional office locations rather than applying broadly. Roles tied to active project pipelines in specific states have faster hiring cycles and more defined sponsorship pathways.
Clarify Visa Category Fit Before Your First Interview
Garver has sponsored across H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT categories for technical roles. Know which category fits your situation before interviews so you can address sponsorship directly. TN is available same-day for Canadian and Mexican nationals, which may accelerate your start date.
Use Migrate Mate to Filter Garver Electrician Openings
Garver posts Electrician roles across multiple job boards, but isolating which openings are open to visa sponsorship takes time. Migrate Mate filters specifically for visa-sponsoring employers, letting you find active Garver Electrician listings without manually screening each posting.
Prepare for PERM-Related Employment Verification Early
If you're pursuing EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, Garver must complete a PERM labor certification through DOL before filing your immigrant petition. Gathering employment records, certified translations of foreign credentials, and reference contacts in advance prevents bottlenecks once the process starts.
Negotiate Your Start Date Around H-1B Cap Timelines
Cap-subject H-1B petitions have an October 1 start date. If you receive an offer during spring hiring season, confirm with Garver's HR team whether your start can align with that window or if a cap-exempt route applies to your situation.

Find Electrician at Garver JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Garver sponsor H-1B visas for Electricians?
Yes, Garver has a history of sponsoring H-1B visas for technical roles including Electricians. Because Electrician positions at Garver typically require specialized knowledge of electrical systems within engineering and infrastructure consulting contexts, they can meet the specialty occupation threshold USCIS uses to evaluate H-1B eligibility. Confirming this directly with the hiring team during the offer stage is the right move.
How do I apply for Electrician jobs at Garver?
Applications go through Garver's careers portal, where you can filter by role and location. Before applying, review the specific project type listed in the job description, since Garver's Electrician roles span water, transportation, and federal work. Tailor your resume to reflect relevant project experience. You can also find Garver's open Electrician listings filtered by visa sponsorship availability on Migrate Mate.
Which visa types does Garver commonly use for Electrician roles?
Garver has sponsored Electrician and other technical roles under H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, J-1, and employment-based Green Card categories including EB-2 and EB-3. TN is a practical option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying technical roles and can be processed quickly. F-1 OPT and CPT are relevant for candidates in the final stages of a U.S. degree program in an engineering-related field.
What qualifications does Garver expect for Electrician positions?
Garver's Electrician roles in a consulting and professional services environment typically expect hands-on experience with commercial or industrial electrical systems, familiarity with the National Electrical Code, and in many cases a state-recognized journeyman or master electrician license. Roles supporting infrastructure projects may also require experience reading engineering drawings, coordinating with project managers, and working within established quality and safety frameworks.
How do I navigate the timeline between a job offer and my visa start date at Garver?
The gap between offer and authorized start depends on your visa category. F-1 OPT authorization through USCIS takes up to 90 days, so apply early. TN status for Canadian nationals can be obtained at a port of entry the same day. H-1B cap-subject petitions filed in April result in an October 1 start date at the earliest. Align your offer negotiation with these timelines to avoid gaps in work authorization.
