        <!-- Main Content -->
        <div class="job-content">
          <p class="job-summary">Learn real trade skills fast&mdash;work side-by-side with a veteran technician across commercial facilities, earn above-market pay with per diem, and travel the Gulf South.</p>
          <h2>Overview</h2>
          <p>This is not a typical &ldquo;helper&rdquo; role. You&rsquo;ll work directly alongside a highly experienced technician, supporting maintenance and electrical work across large-scale commercial and industrial facilities. This is a hands-on, travel-heavy role designed for someone who wants to learn real trade skills fast, earn above-market pay, and be part of a small, no-nonsense team.</p>

          <h2>What You&rsquo;ll Be Doing</h2>
          <p>You&rsquo;ll assist in a wide range of field tasks, including:</p>
          <ul>
            <li>Electrical support (running conduit, pulling wire, changing breakers)</li>
            <li>General maintenance and repair work</li>
            <li>Light plumbing assistance (valves, basic systems)</li>
            <li>Painting and facility upkeep</li>
            <li>Loading/unloading materials and tools</li>
            <li>Working on lifts and at heights (up to ~35 ft)</li>
          </ul>
          <p>You&rsquo;ll be working side-by-side with the lead technician at all times&mdash;this is a true apprentice-style role.</p>

          <h2>Work Environment &amp; Schedule</h2>
          <p>Work takes place at commercial facilities across Louisiana, South Arkansas, and Mississippi.</p>
          <ul>
            <li>Start: ~9:00&ndash;10:30 AM</li>
            <li>End: ~3:30&ndash;4:30 PM</li>
            <li>Mostly weekday work, with occasional project-based weekends</li>
          </ul>

          <h2>Travel Requirements</h2>
          <ul>
            <li>Travel required almost every week</li>
            <li>Up to 5 days on the road</li>
            <li>Overnight stays ~75% of the time</li>
            <li>Hotels arranged and covered</li>
            <li>Daily per diem provided</li>
          </ul>
          <p>If you&rsquo;re not comfortable being on the road regularly, this role won&rsquo;t be a fit.</p>

          <h2>Why This Role Stands Out</h2>
          <ul>
            <li>Direct mentorship from a veteran industry professional</li>
            <li>Exposure to electrical, maintenance, and facility work</li>
            <li>Fast, hands-on skill development&mdash;no classroom training</li>
            <li>Work inside major commercial environments</li>
            <li>Stable, consistent workload</li>
            <li>No corporate bureaucracy&mdash;field-focused, straightforward work</li>
          </ul>

          <h2>Required</h2>
          <ul>
            <li>Minimum 6 months experience in construction, electrical, HVAC, or similar hands-on work</li>
            <li>Comfortable with physical labor, lifting, and working at heights</li>
            <li>Able to follow strict safety standards</li>
            <li>Ability to take direction and work under supervision</li>
            <li>Reliable, punctual, and consistent</li>
          </ul>

          <h2>Preferred</h2>
          <ul>
            <li>Valid driver&rsquo;s license</li>
            <li>Clean background</li>
            <li>Basic electrical or maintenance experience</li>
          </ul>
