  • Complete and submit accurate daily production reports, time sheets, equipment logs, material usage, and incident or near-miss documentation.
  • Mentor, train, and evaluate apprentices and journeymen; provide feedback to support skill development and safe work practices.
  • Respond to emergency outages and storm restoration assignments, often on short notice and in adverse weather conditions.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned by the General Foreman or Superintendent.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Current First Aid, CPR, and AED certifications (or ability to obtain within 30 days of hire).
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen, background check, and DOT physical, and to remain compliant with random drug and alcohol testing requirements.
  • Ability to climb wood poles using hooks, work safely from aerial lifts, and perform all essential physical tasks of an overhead lineman.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills; able to direct a crew under pressure and in changing field conditions.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
