About The Position

Ameren Missouri is hiring a System Tester in Training for its System Tester training program. The 96-week program provides instruction and practical experience across the craft, with trainee schedules arranged to cover its phases in a logical order. Training includes department-related job instruction, hands-on instruction, work assignments, evaluations, and section exams. A Company advisor tracks progress and conducts evaluation meetings with the trainee, Union advisor, and department superintendent or designee; a Union advisor serves in an advisory capacity.

Trainees must complete required technical instruction and testing, including a polyphase course with a grade of C or higher (unless an approved equivalent has been completed). Trainees must demonstrate safety awareness, good attendance, willingness to learn and accept instruction, ability to work well with others, and interest in advancing the craft. Each section exam requires a score of at least 80 percent, subject to the stated retest provisions. After satisfactory completion, the trainee is classified as a System Tester and receives a Certificate of Completion. The trainee must also complete all instruction and testing required for unescorted access to the Callaway Energy Center; failure to obtain that access results in disqualification from the System Tester position.

The listed hourly pay steps are $46.01, $47.74, $49.51, and $52.75. The position is eligible for annual incentive payments based on company performance and subject to management discretion. Benefits information is referenced on Ameren's Benefits & Perks Page for regular full-time employees.
