What the Reno board is actually calling for
The exact search "ibew reno job calls" still lands on Facebook, a dues page, Reddit, and other halls. The live count is on IBEW Local 401 in Reno. The longer hall writeup stays on the Local 401 traveler guide. This page is the October 28 job-call snapshot, and it will go stale. Open the local page before you drive.
The first line of the hall outlook says 90 open positions. That matches the count on the local page. The last 30 days of scrapes saw as many as 165. Publish the 90 that is on the board today. The printed classification lines add up to that same 90. Book 1 and Book 2 headcounts are not on the outlook. When a line says "Book 1 & 2 $4/hr," that is who the extra $4 applies to, not a count of names on the books.
No bidding was open at this snapshot. Viewing opens at 7:45 a.m. Pacific. On weekdays that are not holidays, bidding runs from 5:00 p.m. to 7:45 a.m. Pacific. Weekends and holidays are open all day. The Nevada pay page and the pay hub keep the scale next to the calls. Hot spots and the map are the rest of the 300 locals. Start from the homepage if you want the daily board first, and use compare when you are stacking this hall against another one.
The calls, in plain language
Bechtel has two journeyman lines at Thacker Pass, 4 and 5, on 6-9.5s. Both print $120 a day per diem and $4 an hour for Book 1 and Book 2. That is OSHA 10, a background check, a drug and alcohol screen, long sleeves, safety toes, and two forms of ID. Six days of the printed per diem is $720. The days run 9.5 hours, and the line does not print an overtime rate, so the hours past 8 stay unpriced here. Scale plus the $4 is $56.00 an hour for the straight-time hours only.
Baker Electric wants 8 journeymen at Libra Solar on 4-10s. The line is scale plus $15 an hour for Book 1 and Book 2, plus $3 an hour zone. Four 10-hour days are 40 hours. $52.00 plus $15 plus $3 is $70.00. Forty hours at $70.00 is $2,800.00, and that row is straight time.
Rosendin has three journeyman lines at Vantage, 7, 2, and 2, plus two CW step 3 lines, 2 and 4. That is 11 journeymen and 6 CW. The schedule is 5-10s. The premium is scale plus $10 an hour if you work 90% of the scheduled hours. One of the 2-journeyman lines wants QAQC. The other wants shop onboarding. Forty straight-time hours at $62.00 is $2,480.00. The extra 10 hours are not priced, because the overtime rate is not printed.
Bombard wants 5 journeymen at the STY Campus on 5-10s and an 8. The line prints $57.39, which is $5.39 over the $52.00 scale. Forty hours at the printed rate is $2,295.60. The extra hours stay unpriced.
Baker's Bighorn Data Center line wants 6 journeymen at scale plus $7 on 5-10s and an 8, plus 6 CE level 1 at scale.
Cupertino wants 9 journeymen at RNO5. Report October 29, 2026 at 6:00 a.m. The schedule is 5-10s plus an 8, and the line says all overtime is double time. It does not print a rate above scale, so the math below uses $52.00. Fifty-eight hours is 40 at $52.00 ($2,080.00) and 18 at $104.00 ($1,872.00), which is $3,952.00 if double time is on the scale.
W. Bradley has two Libra Bess lines in Yerington. One is 8 journeymen on 4-10s, with 6-10s available, at $10 an hour on the check plus a $3 zone. Forty hours at $65.00 is $2,600.00. The optional longer week is not priced. The other line is 5 journeymen on 4-10s, with 5-10s available, at $10 an hour for Book 1 and Book 2 plus the $3 zone, and it wants API 1104 and AWS D1.1 SMAW E7018 welding certs.
Redwood wants 5 journeymen in Sparks at Edgecore, 5-10s and an 8, a 4:00 a.m. start, scale plus $10 overscale. Forty hours at $62.00 is $2,480.00. The extra hours are not priced. Newtron wants 7 journeymen at the Fernley kitting job on 5-10s, Saturday when available, at scale. Tech City wants 1 journeyman in the Fernley shop at scale, with a service truck, a California license, MSHA, NFPA 70E, a Reno city license, and a clean driving record. Whittington wants 1 journeyman in Truckee, California, at scale. Briggs wants 1 CW step 3 in the Carson City shop at scale, and that line asks for a Nevada photovoltaic installer license.
One Dynalectric line for 2 journeymen at STY 4 prints $9.09 an hour straight time and $13.64 an hour overtime. $13.64 is one and a half times $9.09. Those figures are not the $52.00 scale, so they are not in the weekly table. Read that line on the Local 401 page before you treat it as the wage.
Weekly gross from the printed rates
A plain 40-hour scale week is $2,080.00. Health and welfare on file is $8.50 an hour. The pension contribution on file is $12.00 an hour. Those fringes are not in the gross column.
| Call | Rate | Hours | Straight | OT | Gross |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baker Libra Solar, 4-10s, scale + $15 + $3 zone | $70.00 | 40 | $2,800.00 | $0.00 | $2,800.00 |
| Bradley Libra Bess, 4-10s, $10 on the check + $3 zone | $65.00 | 40 | $2,600.00 | $0.00 | $2,600.00 |
| Cupertino RNO5, 5-10s plus an 8, all overtime double time on the $52 scale | $52.00 | 58 | $2,080.00 | $1,872.00 | $3,952.00 |
| Plain scale week | $52.00 | 40 | $2,080.00 | $0.00 | $2,080.00 |
The Cupertino row is scale math. If the hall is paying a higher base that the line did not print, the check is larger than $3,952.00. Thacker Pass per diem is $720 across six days and is not in this table, because the 9.5-hour days do not print an overtime rate. The wage explainer is the national version of this math. Book 2 travel is the signup path if you are not already on the book.
License, OSHA 10, and the hall
Nevada electrical work is a contractor classification. The Nevada State Contractors Board classifications page lists electrical among the subclassifications and points the scope to Chapter 624 of the Nevada Administrative Code. NRS 624 treats electrical work as work performed by an electrical contractor. This page does not invent a journeyman fee or a reciprocity list. The state-by-state license notes are on the reciprocity guide.
NRS 618.983 says a construction worker who is not a supervisory employee must obtain an OSHA-10 completion card not later than 15 days after hire. The Thacker Pass line is stricter than the statute: it wants OSHA 10 before you take the call.
The hall on file is 4635 Longley Lane, Suite 109, Reno, NV 89502, (775) 329-2566. The public hall site did not return a readable page on this check, so it is not linked. Las Vegas Local 357 is the other Nevada hall in the tracker: 15 open calls at a $60.83 scale, Book 1 at 624 and Book 2 at 84, hall at 808 N Lamb Boulevard.
