  • Strong work ethic and commitment to safety

Preferred:

  • Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401k with company match, paid vacation, etc.)
  • Steady pipeline of travel-based project work
  • Opportunity to develop skills and grow within the company
  • Hands-on experience with large-scale, high-voltage infrastructure projects
