Most office jobs are about keeping things running.
This one is about making them run better.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, building systems, and making life easier for everyone around them.

If you've ever found yourself thinking...
"There has to be a better way to do this."
"Why is everyone doing it like this?"
"This process makes no sense."
"If we organized this differently, we'd save hours."
"I wonder if I could automate that."..keep reading.

At Cannon Electric, your job won't just be answering phones.
You'll become the person who helps keep jobs moving from the first phone call all the way to completion.
One minute you might be helping a homeowner schedule an estimate.
The next, you'll be organizing information so estimates can be completed faster.
The next, you might be creating a new workflow that saves the company five hours every week.

We're not looking for someone who waits to be told every step.
We're looking for someone who enjoys figuring things out, improving processes, and taking ownership.

This Opportunity Might Be for You If...
This isn't a job where you'll simply follow systems.
It's a job where you'll help build them.
Every checklist.
Every workflow.
Every process.
Every improvement.

You'll have the opportunity to help design how Cannon Electric operates for years to come.
If the idea of helping build the operating system of a growing company from the ground up sounds exciting, we should talk.

What You'll Do
Answer incoming customer calls and create an outstanding first impression.
Gather information and photos for upcoming estimates.
Schedule estimates and electrical work.
Keep projects organized from the first phone call through completion.
Coordinate permits, materials, and paperwork.

You Naturally...
Take ownership instead of waiting for instructions.
Build systems that make everyone's job easier.
Notice inefficiencies that others overlook.
Enjoy organizing chaos.
Learn new software quickly.
Ask, "How can we make this better?"
Get satisfaction from solving problems.

This Probably Isn't the Job for You If...
You prefer:
Being told exactly what to do every day.
Doing the same tasks over and over.
Waiting for someone else to solve problems.
A job where every day looks the same.

What Success Looks Like
After six months:
Customers receive faster communication.
Estimates move through the office smoothly.
Jobs stay organized.
The office runs with fewer interruptions.

The company operates better because of systems you've built.
You don't need to know electrical work.

If you’ve ever noticed a box like this mounted on the outside of a commercial building, you’ve probably walked right past it without giving it a second thought.

It’s a remote battery pack for the building’s emergency lighting system.

If the power goes out, this battery automatically supplies power to emergency egress lights so people can safely find their way out of the building.

The interesting part?

Because these rarely get noticed, they also rarely get tested.

Many of the ones we find during service calls or insurance inspections have batteries that quit holding a charge years ago. The building owner has no idea because they’ve been sitting there quietly for 10, 15, or even 20 years without anyone thinking about them.

Hopefully they never have to work—but if there’s ever an emergency, you definitely want them ready.

At first glance, you notice the new cabinets, countertops, and finishes.

But it’s the lighting that really ties everything together.

This kitchen features pendant lights over the island, lighting under the floating shelves, and toe-kick lighting along the base cabinets. Each serves a purpose, but together they create a warm, inviting space that feels polished and custom.

Good lighting isn’t just about making a room brighter—it’s about adding depth, highlighting craftsmanship, and creating a space people enjoy spending time in.

Sometimes it’s the small details that make the biggest impact.

Cody: “You know I’m still undefeated on panel changes.”

Matt: “Undefeated? You mean you’ve been lucky.”

Cody: “Luck has nothing to do with it.”

Matt: “Sure it doesn’t. Somehow you always get the straightforward ones.”

Cody: “Or… hear me out… I’m just faster.”

Matt: “Fast doesn’t automatically mean better.”

Cody: “It does when I’m waiting for you to finish every time.”

Matt: “I’m not slow. I’m making it look good. Plus this panel has 2 times the wires yours did.”

⚠️ The Biggest Danger With Fuse Boxes Isn’t What Most People Think

A lot of people assume fuse boxes are dangerous simply because they’re old.

The bigger issue is that the wrong fuse can be installed.

Take this panel, for example. The green fuses installed here are rated higher than the wiring they’re protecting. If the wiring is only designed to safely carry 15 or 20 amps, installing a larger fuse means the wire can overheat before the fuse ever blows.

Think of a fuse or circuit breaker as the safety valve for your wiring. It should protect the wire—not allow it to carry more current than it’s designed for.

That’s one of the advantages of modern circuit breakers. Once the correct breaker size is installed, it’s much harder for someone to accidentally “upgrade” the protection to the wrong size.

Just because the lights turn on doesn’t mean the electrical system is protected the way it should be.

“What happened to my ceiling?”

Or maybe…

“All of this… just because one outlet quit working?”

Believe it or not, sometimes the answer is yes.

In this case, a wire had been damaged somewhere inside the wall or ceiling. The break couldn’t be located without opening up much more of the house, so the best solution was to reroute new wiring.

That meant opening a section of the ceiling, fishing new wire through the framing, and rebuilding the circuit so the outlet would work reliably again.

It might look like a mess in the middle of the job, but every wire has a purpose, every opening is intentional, and everything gets put back together when we’re finished.

Sometimes the hardest part of electrical work isn’t replacing the outlet you can see—it’s finding and fixing the problem you can’t.

Customer: “Can’t you just bury that junction box in the wall so we don’t have to see it?”

We hear this question more often than you’d think.

The problem is that junction boxes are required to remain accessible—and there’s a very good reason why.

We recently tracked down a lighting issue in a basement where we knew the problem had to be somewhere between two light fixtures. The catch? Someone had buried the junction boxes behind the finished ceiling.

Instead of opening an accessible box and testing the connections, we had to play a frustrating game of hide-and-seek, carefully opening the ceiling until we finally found the hidden splices.

What could have been a straightforward repair turned into extra labor, extra drywall repair, and more cost for the homeowner.

Junction boxes aren’t left accessible because electricians like looking at them. They’re left accessible so future troubleshooting and repairs can be done safely, efficiently, and without tearing your home apart.

Sometimes the shortcut that looks the cleanest today creates the biggest headache years down the road.

Homeowner: “Why do I need something on the outside of the house when we’re already replacing the panel inside?”

Electrician: “Good question. Current code requires an emergency disconnect on the exterior of the home when we do a service upgrade. That way the fire department or emergency responders can quickly shut off power to the entire house without having to enter the building.”

Homeowner: “So it’s basically just a big on-off switch?”

Electrician: “It can be. The cheapest option is a simple disconnect that only turns the power on and off. But since we’re already doing the work, I’d recommend considering a meter main instead.”

Homeowner: “What’s the difference?”

Electrician: “A meter main still gives you that required emergency disconnect, but it also includes a small outdoor breaker panel. Most have space for up to eight circuits.”

Homeowner: “Why would I want breakers outside?”

Electrician: “Future flexibility. Let’s say someday you want power to a detached garage, a shed, a hot tub, a camper hookup, landscape lighting, or maybe a future shop. Instead of trying to squeeze another breaker into the house panel and run a long wire back outside, we can come right out of the meter main.”

Homeowner: “So it makes future projects easier?”

Electrician: “Exactly. It’s cleaner, often saves labor later, and gives you more options. For only a few hundred dollars more than a basic disconnect, it can save a lot of headache down the road.”

Homeowner: “Do most people use all eight spaces?”

Electrician: “Not usually, but many homeowners end up adding something over the years. A detached garage, hot tub, EV charger, generator inlet, shed, or outdoor kitchen are all common additions. Having those spaces available means you’re prepared if your needs change.”

Homeowner: “So if it was your house?”

Electrician: “I’d spend the extra money on the meter main. If you’re already investing in a new service and panel, it’s one of the cheapest opportunities you’ll ever have to add future expansion capability.”

Homeowner: “Makes sense. Better to do it once than wish I had later.”

Electrician: “That’s exactly how I look at it.”
