I have been browsing some want ads on the net for electricians. I notice that some of them call for an electrician's license. I have a Journeymans' card. The only thing I've been able to find out about a license in Ohio is for a contractor. Does anyone on here know what these companies are looking for as far as a license? Some of these jobs are for an Industrial Maintenance electrician which is what I do.

The state of ohio does not YET have a state JW license. Supposidly, it is coming in the future.....who knows...
The state of ohio does have a electrical contractors license. (kinda like a masters)
Each jurisdiction has its own licenses. JW, apprentice, master, contractor, ect. For example....

I have a Ohio electrical contractor license. In the citys of Middletown and Hamilton, I am a master electrician, I used to have JW license before my masters. Call the company and ask what kind of license they want. I HIGHLY doubt they want a master license for a maintenance man....
