Electrical Maintenance Technician Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical maintenance technician in Tennessee?
The most direct path in Tennessee is completing a post-secondary electrical or industrial maintenance program at a community college such as Nashville State, Pellissippi State, or Tennessee College of Applied Technology, then obtaining a Tennessee Journeyman Electrician license through the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance. Candidates sit for a state-approved exam covering the National Electrical Code. Many employers also accept completion of a registered apprenticeship through a Tennessee-based apprenticeship program as a pathway into the role.
How much do electrical maintenance technicians make in Tennessee?
Electrical maintenance technicians in Tennessee earn a median of about $61,560 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $39,240 for the lowest 10% to over $90,010 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical maintenance technicians in Tennessee?
Employers hiring electrical maintenance technicians in Tennessee right now include Dal-Tile, Magnera, and Mohawk Industries, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Tennessee's strong manufacturing and logistics base means established industrial employers across the state keep consistent demand for qualified technicians year-round.
Which Tennessee cities have the most electrical maintenance technician jobs?
Dickson, Memphis, and Chattanooga account for the highest concentration of electrical maintenance technician openings in Tennessee. Nashville and Chattanooga drive volume through automotive, manufacturing, and utility operations, while Memphis benefits from its large logistics and distribution hub anchored by major warehousing and chemical processing facilities along the Mississippi corridor.
Are there remote electrical maintenance technician jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. Electrical maintenance technician work is fundamentally hands-on and site-dependent, making full remote arrangements uncommon. About 0% of electrical maintenance technician openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which reflects the on-site nature of the role. The parts of the work most likely to allow any remote component are documentation, planning, and PLC program review rather than physical maintenance tasks.
How can I get hired as a electrical maintenance technician in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is enrolling in an industrial maintenance or electrical technology program at a Tennessee College of Applied Technology location, which offer short-term credentials designed for direct workforce entry. Large Tennessee manufacturers and utilities such as automotive plants in Chattanooga and Middle Tennessee logistics employers regularly hire graduates into maintenance helper or apprentice technician roles. Candidates with a Tennessee Electrical Apprentice registration, even without full journeyman status, have a meaningful edge over applicants without any credential.
