To say Josh Tartak is totally wired over the potential he sees in his company and the belief he has in himself, would be about as accurate a game plan for him that one could hope to plug into.

Tartak, 29, started his apprenticeship in the summer of 2014 and earned his red seal as a construction electrician in the summer of 2019.

Today, Tartak runs his own company, Nunavut Electric Ltd., in Rankin Inlet.

Tartak said he did a lot of side jobs in the past, but likes to manage his own workload

He said he also likes to choose who he gets to hire and what jobs he gets to work; two attributes that serve him well in running his own company.

SA国际影视传媒淚t gives me a feeling of control, I suppose,SA国际影视传媒� said Tartak. SA国际影视传媒淚 incorporated on June 28 of 2023 and my operations started almost immediately after that in July.

SA国际影视传媒淭here were many factors that led me to this position. ISA国际影视传媒檓 the middle child of five boys, so I feel like I have to prove myself all the time.

SA国际影视传媒淟ocal contractor, Ed Fagan, who ISA国际影视传媒檓 real close friends with, introduced me to both the business world and the electrical-contracting world. HeSA国际影视传媒檚 taught me a lot. He runs EdSA国际影视传媒檚 Electrical Services and heSA国际影视传媒檚 still teaching me stuff today.SA国际影视传媒�

Tartak said the part of being an electrician he loves the most is finishing work and seeing the completion of a job.

He said itSA国际影视传媒檚 a very rewarding and special feeling when it comes to completing an actual house, because someone will be living in it, as compared to wiring an office building or installing runway lights.

SA国际影视传媒淚 take a lot of pride in my work. Sure, when I was younger, ISA国际影视传媒檇 say look at that house I wired, or whatever, but now, at this point, I try to move forward and look to the future more, rather than focusing on the past.

SA国际影视传媒淏ut, that sense of pride is still there for each building ISA国际影视传媒檝e been at.SA国际影视传媒�

Tartak currently has one employee, but hopes to expand as soon as he can to create more job opportunities.

And, while he looks forward to completing major projects such as wiring a brand-new arena or something comparable in stature, he also has his sights on a rather unique experience in the not-too-distant future.

SA国际影视传媒淓d is getting ready to retire, but I feel like he wonSA国际影视传媒檛 fully retire and will actually be coming to work for me sometimes.

SA国际影视传媒淭hat will be a really weird, but really cool feeling.SA国际影视传媒�

When he was a little younger, Tartak loved to stay on top of everything and keep certain things in perfect condition. Now that he finds himself with so much more on his plate these days, thatSA国际影视传媒檚 actually become something that heSA国际影视传媒檚 working back towards.

Tartak said he feels like he demands a lot and that helps the morale in his immediate atmosphere.

He said, basically, you can call him a control freak, but not in a bad way.

SA国际影视传媒淭he past 10 months running this company have been interesting, thatSA国际影视传媒檚 for sure. ISA国际影视传媒檝e certainly been introduced to a lot more, compared to when I was working side jobs.

SA国际影视传媒淚t can definitely take a lot out of you. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a constant mental battle for me to keep the company running properly. ISA国际影视传媒檝e been putting in at least 30 to 40 hours a week in field work, so itSA国际影视传媒檚 been pretty steady.

SA国际影视传媒淚 also usually put in at least an hour a day every evening to keep-up with all the accounting and plan for the future. So, in total, every week, I work at least 50 hours.

SA国际影视传媒淚t can be a little draining at times, but thereSA国际影视传媒檚 nothing ISA国际影视传媒檇 rather be doing. ISA国际影视传媒檓 really excited to see what the future for me and my company will bring.SA国际影视传媒�
