About The Position

This is not a desk job. Every day you will be performing heavy manual labor work outdoors in all weather conditions: rain, heat, cold, and everything in between. You will regularly lift and carry up to 75 pounds, climb utility poles and ladders, and operate a bucket truck at heights of up to 40 feet above the ground. This work is physically intense, mentally demanding, and requires total focus on safety at all times. If this sounds like the challenge you are looking for, we want to hear from you.
