Electrical Testing & NETA
Recruiting Electrical Testing Technicians Who Are Ready for the Field
Shamrock recruits electrical testing professionals for testing firms, contractors and owners nationwide. We focus on people who hold NETA certifications or are building toward them, and on the engineers and project leaders who keep testing work on schedule.
We match candidates to the certification level your work requires, the equipment and project types they have actually tested, and the travel your schedule demands.

NETA Level II Technicians
Technicians with hands-on acceptance and maintenance testing experience.
NETA Level III Technicians
Experienced technicians who often lead crews and interpret test results.
NETA Level IV Technicians
Senior technicians with deep experience on complex systems and technical leadership.
Field Service Engineers & Technicians
Professionals who troubleshoot, test and commission switchgear, relays and protection systems.
Testing Project Managers
Leaders who manage scopes, schedules, crews and client communication on testing projects.
Practical hiring considerations
- Certification level vs. real experience
- A NETA level shows tested knowledge; we also ask about voltage classes, equipment types and relay work so the level matches what your projects demand.
- Travel and schedule
- Many testing roles involve frequent travel, outages and night or weekend work. We confirm expectations up front so candidates accept roles knowing the schedule.
- Safety culture
- We discuss NFPA 70E practices and safety history so your team gets people who take energized work seriously.
- Compensation structure
- Base pay, per diem, overtime and travel pay all shape an offer. We help you understand what candidates weigh before you extend one.
