Weston, OR
Located in northeastern Oregon (just 8 miles south of Walla Walla, Washington), Milton-Freewater is a community surrounded by orchards, wheat fields and vineyards set against the beautiful Blue Mountains (yes, they really are blue!)
Long before the two towns of Milton and Freewater merged in 1950, settlers flocked to this area to take advantage of the fertile soil. Now situated within the acclaimed Walla Walla Valley Wine Appellation and the newly formed The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater sub-appellation, the area is still well known for its agricultural bounty. Lots of sun in the summer and mild winters contribute to an almost perfect climate. The area is also home to surprising natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities, a thriving and energetic arts and cultural community, a historic yet hip downtown filled with local boutiques, restaurants, tasting rooms, and specialty retail, and some of Washington’s best golf.
Lakeside Foods and our family of companies welcomes people of all backgrounds and the varied ideas they bring to the workplace. Being an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer is part of our heritage and culture. We recruit, hire and promote employees based on qualifications and merit, without regard to race, religion, age, gender, disability, marital or veteran status.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Electrician Jobs
Verify your electrical license transfers
State electrical licenses don't automatically apply across state lines. Before applying, confirm whether the hiring state accepts your current credentials or requires a temporary work permit, many agricultural states have reciprocity agreements that H-2A visa workers can use.
Target farms with infrastructure-heavy operations
H-2A electrician roles cluster around operations running high-voltage equipment: large-scale irrigation, processing plants, and climate-controlled storage. Search DOL job order postings by SIC code for crop production employers with documented electrical needs.
Search H-2A listings on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate shows H-2A electrician positions filtered by sponsorship status and DOL job order filing history, so you're only seeing employers who've already cleared the labor certification step, not listings where sponsorship is unconfirmed.
Confirm the job order covers electrical work specifically
H-2A petitions are filed against a specific DOL-certified job order. Ask employers to confirm the job order classification includes electrical tasks, if the order only covers general farm labor, your role may not be covered under that petition.
Understand your employer's housing obligation before accepting
H-2A employers must provide free housing that meets DOL or state standards. For electricians on remote agricultural sites, inspect whether provided housing is on-site or off, and whether transportation to the worksite is included in the offer.
Time your application around DOL processing windows
Employers must file the H-2A petition at least 45 days before your start date and receive DOL job order certification first. Roles tied to seasonal planting or harvest cycles have hard start dates, late applications risk missing the work window entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find electrician jobs with H-2A visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find electrician positions where H-2A sponsorship is already in place. Employers on the platform have filed or are filing DOL job orders, so you're not chasing listings where sponsorship is speculative. You can filter by role and visa type to see only confirmed H-2A opportunities.
What housing and transportation does an H-2A employer have to provide for electricians?
H-2A employers are legally required to provide free housing that meets DOL or applicable state safety standards for the full duration of your work period. They must also cover transportation costs from your home country to the job site and back. For electricians working on remote agricultural properties, clarify whether daily transportation to the work location is also included before signing the job offer.
Does an electrician role qualify as agricultural work under H-2A?
It can, but the role must be directly tied to agricultural production and classified within a qualifying DOL job order. Electrical work maintaining irrigation systems, processing equipment, or greenhouse controls on a farm operation typically qualifies. General electrical contracting work unconnected to crop or livestock production does not. The employer's DOL-certified job order is the definitive document confirming your role is covered.
Can I extend my H-2A status if the electrical work runs longer than expected?
H-2A status can be extended in increments up to a maximum of three years total, but extensions require the employer to file an amended or new petition with USCIS before your current status expires. Extensions are tied to the same seasonal or temporary nature requirement, if the electrical work becomes a permanent ongoing need, the position may no longer qualify for H-2A.
