How it works for power-line installers and repairers

Licenses

Common here: Commercial driver’s license (Class A), OSHA 10-hour construction. A license with its number counts for matching; verification is optional.

Trade partners you might meet

Substation techs, electricians, telecom line techs and system operators.

Where you'd meet

At the yard, the plant gate or a coffee in town. Field and plant roles always meet in person.

Storm work

Contract crews take storm and construction work as firms, matched on crew size and capacity.

Questions

Do power-line installers and repairers need a résumé?

No. You answer a tap-only questionnaire, check your skills and how deep each one goes, play a few short work stories, and invite people to vouch for you.

How is my license shown?

Entered with its number and state, it counts for matching right away and shows as "Self-reported". Verification ($29.99) adds a "Verified" badge. The number is never shown.

Can I meet over video?

No. This work always meets in person: at the yard, the plant gate or a coffee in town. Field and plant roles always meet in person.
