IBEW Local 369 is the Louisville hall, with a unit office in Lexington. On October 5, 2026, GoHereBro's scrape counted 65 open positions. Book 1 stood at 102 names and Book 2 at 64. The work in that snapshot was concentrated at Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant and at a Hickory II call in Glendale the board labeled as the BOSK site. The card below is the current scrape. The paragraph is the October 5 picture.
Other Kentucky and regional openings are on the job call map and the Hot Spots dashboard.
What the October 5 board showed
Journeyman scale on the dispatch record GoHereBro verified September 24, 2026 is $45.00. Health and welfare on that record is $9.90. The contribution pension figure is $10.20. Calls in the October 5 outlook were written at scale, not at a project premium. Schedules were the thing that moved the check.
| Call on the October 5 outlook | Schedule and duration the board gave |
|---|---|
| Lake Erie Electric, 11 journeymen, Ford LAP, Louisville | 7-12s, about one month |
| Conti Corp, 10 journeymen, Ford LAP, Louisville | 7-10s, about three months |
| ECA Corp, 7 journeymen, Ford LAP, Louisville | 7-10s, about three months |
| ECA Corp, 7 journeymen, Ford LAP, Louisville | 5-10s, about three months |
| AES, 3 journeymen, Hickory II (BOSK site), Glendale | Named on the same outlook |
Ford LAP is the Louisville Assembly Plant. Glendale is not a Louisville suburb you commute on a whim. It sits southwest of Elizabethtown, roughly an hour from the Preston Highway hall when traffic is ordinary. Price the room off the report-to, not off downtown Louisville.
The local's public job line page was still showing a January 15, 2025 "no calls" line when this guide was written. That page is stale. GoHereBro's October 5, 2026 scrape of the dispatch document is the one that produced the 65 positions. Call the hall before you treat either number as tomorrow's referral.
Kentucky electrician license
Kentucky licenses electricians, master electricians, and electrical contractors through the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction. The journey-level card is the electrician license, not a city card.
KRS 227A.060 is the qualification statute. The electrician application on DHBC's form EL-3 asks for test results or a reciprocity file, work-history proof, a photo, and the fee. The March 3, 2026 Prov candidate bulletin says the journeyman exam is 80 questions, three hours, open book, and that a candidate may bring the 2017, 2020, or 2023 National Electrical Code. Prov's fee in that bulletin is $80. The bulletin tells you to call the department at (502) 573-2002 if you are not sure which exam the license requires. Prov does not decide that.
DHBC's posted reciprocity checklists are narrower than a national list:
- Ohio electrical contractor: Kentucky electrical contractor and master electrician. The checklist asks for the active Ohio license, insurance, the applications, fees, a passport-style photo, and a good-standing letter. One version of the checklist also asks for a driver's license.
- Virginia or West Virginia master or journeyman: the matching Kentucky master or electrician license. Active license, application, fee, photo, and a good-standing letter.
- A second DHBC checklist adds Louisiana. It says an active Louisiana electrical contractor and master license held for the past three years can be issued as a Kentucky contractor and master. That sheet is not on every copy of the checklist. Use the PDF currently linked from dhbc.ky.gov the day you apply.
Everyone else is on the exam-and-hours route. The administrative regulation, 815 KAR 35:060, says a reciprocity applicant has to meet the agreement with the state that licensed them, attach that license, and attach a letter of good standing. An IBEW ticket is not one of those agreements.
Licensing address on the checklists: Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction, Electrical Licensing, 500 Mero Street, 1st Floor, Frankfort, KY 40601.
Hall, books, and the Lexington office
Louisville office: 4315 Preston Highway, Suite 102, Louisville, KY 40213. Phone (502) 368-2568. Fax (502) 368-2564. Hours on the local's site: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The inside agreement also prints a toll-free number, 1-877-IBEW-369, and a second fax, (502) 368-1270.
Lexington office: 533 Buck Place, Lexington, KY 40511. Phone (859) 252-8872. Same weekday hours, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ask which office signs a Glendale or Lexington referral before you stand at the wrong counter.
The agreement cover lists the regular meeting as the fourth Monday, 7:00 p.m., in Louisville. Business manager on the local's site is Edward J. Devine IV.
Book 1 at 102 and Book 2 at 64, on the October 5 scrape, means a traveler should not assume a same-day referral. Sixty-four names on Book 2 is a line, not a formality. The short calls on that outlook, a month at 7-12s, can move the list. They can also end. The Book 2 travel steps cover the travel letter and what happens to your other books when you take a call. Local 369's own referral window was not fully written on the public job page, which is stuck in 2025. Call (502) 368-2568 and ask whether travelers sign in person, what they have to show, and what time referrals start.
The inside agreement on the local's site is the 2024-2029 NECA contract. Employers on that agreement owe the license, permit, and inspection rules of the city where the work sits. A state electrician license and a hall referral are both in play on a Kentucky industrial call. Neither one replaces the other.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is IBEW Local 369?
4315 Preston Highway, Suite 102, Louisville, KY 40213. Phone (502) 368-2568. Weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Lexington office is 533 Buck Place, Lexington, (859) 252-8872, with the same weekday hours.
Does Local 369 have open calls?
On October 5, 2026, GoHereBro counted 65 open positions. The public job-line page on the local's website was still showing "no calls" from January 15, 2025. Use the live card and the hall phone, not that old line.
What is the Local 369 journeyman scale?
$45.00 on the dispatch record verified September 24, 2026. The October 5 calls were written at scale. Health and welfare on the same record is $9.90, and the contribution pension is $10.20.
How deep are the books?
On October 5, 2026, Book 1 had 102 names and Book 2 had 64. A short Ford call can move that. It is not a same-morning referral for someone signing at the bottom of Book 2.
Does Kentucky require an electrician license?
Yes. The Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses electricians, masters, and electrical contractors. The journey-level license is the electrician license. Reciprocity checklists posted by the department name Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia, and one checklist also names Louisiana for contractor and master.
Where is the Glendale call?
The October 5 outlook listed AES at Hickory II (BOSK site) in Glendale. That is southwest of Elizabethtown, not inside Louisville. Confirm the report-to with the hall before you book a room on Preston Highway.
Who is the business manager?
Edward J. Devine IV, as listed on the local's website when this guide was checked.
