This is a hands-on opportunity for someone with powerline or related industry experience who wants to develop their trade skills and progress toward certification. You will work with field crews on transmission and distribution systems while learning to interpret construction drawings, troubleshoot equipment, and apply safe work practices.

  • Learn to interpret site plans and construction drawings and apply them to assigned field activities.
  • Participate in training and complete required documentation toward trade certification.
  • Communicate clearly with supervisors and crew members, take and provide direction as required, and work collaboratively to complete assignments safely and within project deadlines.

What You’ll Bring

  • Minimum six months of experience in the powerline industry or a related field.
  • Willingness to enrol in and complete training toward trade certification and learn to interpret site plans and construction drawings.
  • Ability to distinguish between colours.
  • Strong safety awareness, including the ability to recognize hazards, apply the hierarchy of controls, follow established procedures, and ask questions when guidance is needed.
  • Strong listening, verbal and written communication, problem-solving, and time-management skills, with the ability to meet deadlines and work independently or as part of a team with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to perform physically demanding work, including manual labour and heavy lifting in varying weather conditions and environments.
  • A valid driver’s licence and a clean or otherwise acceptable driver’s abstract. A Class 1A licence is highly preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
