How Much Do Traveling Electrician Jobs Pay per Year?
What Do Traveling Electricians Do?
Traveling electricians have all the job duties of an electrician, but they travel from job to job. As a traveling electrician, you work to install electrical equipment and systems according to the safety codes dictated by the state in which you are working. Your responsibilities may require you to inspect existing wiring for problems and perform repairs. You should be able and willing to travel for extended periods of time to various job sites, some of which may be out of state. If you work with a company, they generally pay your lodging and travel expenses, though you may also find work as an independent contractor.

The California State Park system has 280 incredible state parks. Their miles of breathtaking coastline, remarkable wetlands, majestic redwood forests, beautiful deserts and colorful valleys provide a diversity of parks found nowhere else in the world. Volunteer host positions are available in over 100 parks. This is a great opportunity to spend time in a wonderful location and meet fellow travelers. Campground Hosts are typically located in a campground and Park Hosts' location is in a State Historic Park.
Host duties vary according to each park but generally include providing visitor information, staffing visitor centers and museums, maintenance projects and general housekeeping. Most hosts work approximately 20 hours a week and, in exchange for those services, the hosts are provided with a campsite during their stay.
Many parks have full hookups and are equipped with restrooms and showers. For those who prefer a more rustic setting, there are parks with little or no hookups or commercial amenities. When applying as a host, make sure the location that interests you has the appropriate hookups for your needs.
