Working at Bretco
Why Work With a Local, Family Owned Electrical Contractor
Bretco Electric Company has been wiring homes and small businesses across Winston-Salem and the surrounding towns since long before most local electricians in the area opened their doors. That kind of staying power comes from treating people right, both the customers we serve and the electricians who work alongside us every day.
When you join our crew, you're not just another name on a schedule. You're part of a team that handles everything from receptacle repair and breaker replacement to backup generator installation and full electrical panel upgrades, which means you'll build a broad skill set working on real jobs in real homes. Our crew also tackles home electrical upgrades, outdoor lighting, and EV charger installation, so the work stays varied week to week.
We're still run by the same family that started this business, and that shows in how decisions get made. Pay scales, scheduling, and job assignments are handled by people who know your name, not a corporate office three states away. Safety comes first on every job, and every new hire learns our electrical safety tips before working independently.
What We Offer
Benefits and Perks of Joining Bretco Electric
We believe electricians who are treated fairly do better work and stick around longer. That's why we've built a benefits package around stability and respect for the people doing the job. From day one, we want every electrician on our team to feel like part of the family that built this company 36 years ago.
