How the map is made

Every mark comes from a public record: federal energy inventories, a national laboratory's data center atlas and OpenStreetMap. Each layer names its source and the date of the record under the map. A record can lag what is on the ground by months, and a new site may not be in it yet.

The jobs are the openings on this site, each placed at the city it is based in. A job counts for a kind of work, such as data centers or solar, when its own title or category names that work.

A planned project is a plan. Most of the generating capacity that asks to connect to the grid is never built, so a planned mark shows where work may come and makes no promise about a start date.

Questions about the map

What does this map show?

Large energy projects across the United States and the electrician jobs open near them. The layers are data centers, large solar farms, wind farms, battery storage, other power plants, power projects that are planned or being built, public DC fast chargers, and high-voltage lines and substations. The gold dots are cities with electrician jobs you can apply for today.

Does a project on the map mean it is hiring?

No. A mark shows where the work is or will be. The jobs listed beside it are openings with electrical contractors in the area, and many of them are for other projects nearby. Ask us and a real person on our hiring team will tell you who is working where.

How close are the jobs to a project?

Each job is placed at the city it is based in, so a distance is the distance to that city. You can widen the circle from 10 miles to 100. Most electricians on large projects drive, so 25 to 50 miles is a fair place to start.

What does planned or being built mean?

It is a power project its owner has reported to the U.S. Energy Information Administration as planned or under construction. Plans change. Dates move, and some projects are never built, so read a planned mark as a sign of where work may come.

How do I apply?

Open a job and apply on its page, or text APPLY and the job code to (949) 414-9944. A real person on our hiring team replies. Employers are described on the site and named once you talk with us.

How do the job alerts work?

Pick a project or a spot on the map and leave a phone number or an email. We message you once to confirm it is you. After that we let you know when openings come up near there. Reply STOP at any time and the alerts end.
