Job description

Not Your Typical Electrical Job

Most electricians spend their careers pulling wire, hanging devices, bending conduit, and troubleshooting the same systems over and over.

This is not that job.

At Pumpline, we solve problems most electricians never encounter. Even as an Electrical Contractor, we work on water systems, wastewater systems, pump controls, VFDs, motors, telemetry, generators, SCADA systems, pressure systems, lift stations, lake intakes, booster stations, and critical infrastructure that people depend on every day.

If you are a licensed Journeyman Electrician or hold a Journeyman Pump Installer Specialty License who wants more challenge, more variety, and a path to become a true systems expert, keep reading.
