Since launching his business nearly a decade-and-a-half ago, Paul Powers has built a reputation for excellence and a commitment to the community.

Powers, the founder of Powers Electrical Solutions in Smyrna, has built more than just a career since starting his own business in August 2011. Now, he’s on a mission to help the next generation.

“Electricians don’t just wire buildings — we power possibilities,” Powers said. “The demand for electricians continues to grow, making it a stable career choice. The work is interesting, and no two days are ever the same.”

As the metro Atlanta region continues to grow, electricians remain in high demand. Powers believes now is the perfect time for the next generation of workers and those looking to make a career change to consider opportunities in the industry, and he’s looking to recruit new additions to the industry.

“Being an electrician requires problem solving, an attention to detail and an ability to adapt to whatever the circumstances are,” Powers said. “People invite electricians into their homes and their businesses and trust us to complete critical work. We owe it to ourselves and our customers to deliver on that expectation.”

Powers knows that an electrician is an in-demand profession, and a career in the industry is a smart, sustainable career path that provides excellent pay and job security. Powers offers new team members paid training and opportunities for leadership and growth.

But Powers’ impact goes beyond the job site. As a community leader and mentor, he wants to encourage others to consider a career in the industry.

According to a recent analysis, Georgia has one of the lowest relative concentrations of electricians of any state. Another survey by the Associated General Contractors of America found that 91% of construction companies in Georgia struggled to find workers, with electricians being among the hardest positions to fill.

“Training and apprenticeship programs for tradespeople are a free education and a way to avoid the high cost of college,” Powers said

Powers Electrical has grown into one of the preeminent independent electrical contractors for residential and commercial projects in the northern metro Atlanta area. Powers and his team have built a reputation for delivering outstanding service that elicits positive reviews and repeat customers.

“We don’t just need more electricians; we need the next generation of leaders,” Powers said. “Entering the industry opens up a world of possibilities, whether it’s ongoing training and skills for a lifetime or the opportunity to start your own business.”
