  • Participate in training, safety initiatives, cyber security awareness efforts, and continuous improvement

What we're looking for:

  • Associate's degree in electrical theory (or related discipline) and/or 5 years of electric utility line experience (or an equivalent combination of education and experience)
  • Strong judgment, situational awareness, and communication skills
  • Detail-oriented, dependable, organized, and motivated by problem-solving
  • Commitment to safe work practices, risk mitigation, and cyber security awareness

Schedule, pay & benefits:

  • Rotating 12-hour shifts, including nights and weekends (24/7 operation)
  • In-person role
  • Starting pay $33.58/hour (trainee), progressing to $47.37/hour for First Class Operators, plus shift differential and overtime as applicable
  • VEC pays for required training
  • Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, retirement, and more
