  • Install and maintain power lines, cables, electrical equipment, and related components, including assisting with underground cable work in trenches and other work areas.
  • Inspect electrical systems and components, identify defects or damage, and assist with troubleshooting and repairs.
  • Follow company Occupational Health and Safety requirements, project procedures, and safe work practices, identifying hazards and applying appropriate controls before and during work.
  • Develop the ability to interpret and follow site plans, construction drawings, and work instructions.
  • Work with Foremen, Construction Managers, and crew members to complete assigned tasks safely and efficiently, communicating work progress, hazards, and field conditions.
  • Participate in training and complete required documentation while working toward Lineman certification.

What You’ll Bring

  • Minimum six months of experience as an Apprentice Lineman Technician or in a related role within the electrical utility, transmission, distribution, or powerline construction industry.
  • Ability to safely perform physically demanding work, including heavy lifting and manual labour in varying weather and jobsite conditions.
  • Ability to accurately distinguish color-coded electrical conductors and components.
  • Strong awareness of electrical construction hazards and the ability to follow established safety procedures and controls.
  • Strong listening, communication, problem-solving, and time-management skills, with the ability to take direction, work effectively with a field crew, and work independently with minimal supervision when required.
  • A valid driver’s license and an acceptable driver’s abstract.
  • Experience working on overhead or underground transmission and distribution systems is preferred. Relevant lineman, electrical, or utility construction training is an asset.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
