Apprenticeships
If you are interested in one of our apprenticeships through ALBAT (Linemen, Substation Technicians, Traffic Signal Technicians) you can visit www.albat.org. Unfortunately, at this time we are currently closed and are not accepting applications. But you can keep monitoring both our site and ALBAT's sites for updates.
We have another apprenticeship for our Line Clearance Tree Trimming Program, that you could sign up for. You can come down to our Local and sign up on our Woodsman book to begin the hiring process.
Out-of-Work Books
You can always come down to our Local and sign up on our out-of-work books, Monday – Friday, 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM.
Once you sign up on our books, you are put on the list, waiting for a call from one of Agents to place you with a Contractor. Please be patient, this process can take some time, however, our Agents are working diligently to try to get all of our members and prospective members to work as quickly as possible.
