Licensing Steps

The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board administers electrical contractor licensing. The path toward an Unlimited Electrical Contractor license begins with meeting the applicable electrical experience requirements and progressing through the required application and examination process.

An Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Contractor applicant must document 12,000 verifiable hours of on-the-job experience in electrical construction work. The experience requirements include 4,000 hours of experience as a licensed Unlimited Electrical Journeyman.

Within the required experience, 6,000 hours must be commercial or industrial electrical work obtained while employed by a licensed Electrical Contractor. Oklahoma also permits a maximum of 2,000 hours of qualifying formal electrical education to satisfy part of the overall experience requirement.

Electrical Contractors must be an owner, partner, or officer in the electrical firm. Applicants should ensure that their experience and business relationship meet the applicable contractor requirements before completing the licensing process.

After the application and qualifications are reviewed, approved candidates proceed with the required examination process. The Unlimited Electrical Contractor technical examination evaluates broad knowledge across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems.

Contractor applicants are also responsible for the Business and Law requirements associated with Oklahoma electrical contractor licensing. Technical preparation should therefore be viewed as one part of the full contractor licensing process.

After examination requirements are completed, contractors must satisfy the requirements for an active electrical contractor license, including applicable bond, liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and other compliance obligations.

State Requirements

The Unlimited Electrical Contractor classification is Oklahoma’s broad electrical contractor category. It allows qualifying contractors to perform electrical contracting work within the scope established by Oklahoma electrical licensing requirements.

The required 12,000 hours of electrical construction experience reflect the level of responsibility associated with the contractor classification. The experience requirements include journeyman-level work and substantial commercial or industrial electrical experience.

An active Oklahoma Electrical Contractor must maintain a $5,000 corporate surety bond payable to the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board.

Active electrical contractors must also maintain at least $50,000 in commercial general liability insurance. Contractors are responsible for keeping required insurance coverage current while operating under an active contractor license.

Electrical contractors must also comply with applicable workers’ compensation requirements and maintain the documentation required for their business and workforce.

Continuing education is part of maintaining an Oklahoma electrical license. Electrical Contractors and Electrical Journeymen are required to complete 12 hours of approved continuing education every three years or 36 months preceding license expiration.

Electrical contractors are also responsible for maintaining current licensing information and following Oklahoma electrical statutes, industry regulations, adopted electrical codes, and applicable local requirements.
