Who is hiring electricians in Texas right now?

74 permits naming electrical work were pulled in Texas over the 9 days to August 15, about 58 a week. Each one names the address, the work type and the party who filed it, and the trade call typically goes out one to four months after the permit is issued.

What kind of electrical work is it?

Mostly commercial (22), industrial (2), institutional (2), with a long tail beyond that.

What are these electrical jobs worth in Texas?

52 of the 74 publish a declared value. The median is $41k and the largest is $264M. Declared value is the owner's construction cost estimate, not your contract value, so treat it as a size band rather than a budget.

How early is a permit compared to a job posting?

Months. A permit is pulled once the owner has committed the money and the drawings are stamped, and before the trades are picked. A job posting appears after somebody has already been chosen for everything else.

How to work this list

A pulled permit means the money is committed and the schedule is being built. For electricians that is weeks to months of warning before the call goes out.
On commercial and institutional work you are not selling the owner, you are selling the general contractor who is about to be awarded it. Find the GC, get on the bid list before the tender closes.
Have the prequalification package ready before you call: WSIB clearance or the local equivalent, certificate of insurance, safety record, three references in the same building type.
