The Local 48 dispatch page on November 4, 2026 lists 11 referral spots: 5 inside construction, 1 material handler, and 5 sound and communication. Dynalectric wants 1 inside hand at the Hillsboro H5 data center on 4-10s. The hall's wage page prints $65.50 an hour for a commercial industrial journey-level electrician. A 4-10 week is 40 hours, so that wage is $2,620.00 before zone pay. The live board is on the Local 48 page. GoHereBro tracks 300 IBEW locals.
What the hall page lists
The exact search "ibew local 48" is the hall's own site for the first seven results, then TrampHereBro at number 8. GoHereBro is not in that top 10. Local 48 is still the live board, and Search Console already shows that page around position 7.9 with a 1.4% click rate on 1,551 impressions. This guide explains the calls. It will go stale. Open the local page before you drive.
The dispatch page's own headers add to 11. Inside construction is 5. The material handler header is 1. Sound and communication is 5. GoHereBro's morning record still says 23 open positions across 10 calls. That record is larger than the page fetched this afternoon, so the headline is 11. The last 30 days of scrapes saw as many as 47. Neither 23 nor 47 is the count on the hall page today.
Inside construction is four Dynalectric spots and one estimator. Dynalectric wants 1 at the H5 data center in Hillsboro on 4-10s, with a current drug card and orientation Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30pm. Dynalectric wants 2 at the Marcus data center in The Dalles on 4-10s, Monday through Thursday, with $5.50 an hour zone pay. Dynalectric wants 1 at DLS04 in The Dalles on the same 4-10s and the same $5.50 an hour zone pay. Hughes Electrical wants 1 project manager and estimator in the office on 5-8s. That line says some overtime is possible and does not print an overtime rate, so the extra hours are not priced. It asks for a 5-year inside journeyman license and says to call Matt at 503-501-7910.
The material handler spot is also Dynalectric, at multiple data centers in The Dalles, on 4-10s from 6:30am to 5:00pm, with $5.50 an hour zone pay. Orientation on the line is on site November 4 at 6:30am. The line does not print an hourly wage.
Sound and communication is EC Company for 3 in the Vancouver metro on 5-8s with a 6:30am start, building IDF racks and Cat-6, and Nexus Dynamic for 2 at the Aligned data center in Portland on 5-8s. Both lines require an Oregon LEA. Neither line prints an hourly wage.
The week the wage page actually prints
The calls do not restate the dollar wage. The hall's 2026 wage page does. A commercial industrial journey-level electrician is $65.50 an hour. Fringe paid by the employer is $33.24. Dues are $2.95 an hour. The page's package is $95.79, and the page says that package is the gross wage plus fringe minus dues. A sound and communication LEA is $54.50 an hour, with $28.01 fringe, $1.34 dues, and an $81.17 package on the same formula. The table prices the printed gross wages for 40 hours. Fringe, dues, and the package stay out of it.
| Week | Rate | Hours | Gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| Journey-level, 4-10s or 5-8s | $65.50 | 40 | $2,620.00 |
| The Dalles inside calls, wage plus $5.50 zone | $71.00 | 40 | $2,840.00 |
| Sound and communication LEA, 5-8s | $54.50 | 40 | $2,180.00 |
The zone rate is printed on the Dalles inside lines and on the material handler line. The material handler line does not print a base wage, so that $5.50 is named and not turned into a weekly gross. The estimator line does not print a rate either. No overtime rate is printed anywhere on these referral lines.
The same page lists direct applications that are not in the 11. Vigor prints $37.89 for day shift and $38.89 for swing shift. Clark County, the City of Portland, and the Port of Portland are apply-through-the-link jobs. They are not added to the referral count.
The dispatch page does not print Book 1 or Book 2. Doors open at 8:30am for sign-ins until 9:00am, and dispatch begins at about 9:05am. The Oregon job hotline on the page is 503-251-9134. The dispatch phone on the page is 503-251-8689. The hall address is 15937 NE Airport Way, Portland, OR 97230, and the Portland office phone is 503-256-4848. The Oregon pay page and the pay hub sit next to the calls. Hot spots and the map cover the rest of the 300 locals. Start at the homepage for the daily board, and use compare when you are stacking this hall against another directory. The wage explainer is the national version of the 40-hour math. Book 2 travel is the signup path. This hall did not print its book counts.
Oregon license, then the other halls
ORS 479.620 says a person may not make an electrical installation without a supervising or journeyman electrician's license. The Building Codes Division application page lists the General Journeyman Electrician license. The longer fee and reciprocity writeup is the Oregon license guide. This Portland post does not repeat that fee schedule.
Medford Local 659 shows 7 open calls at $47.04 on this morning's record. Salem Local 280 shows 1 open call at $57.65. The cards above are the live boards.
