About The Position

Arizona Public Service is hiring a Transmission Maintenance Lineman for the Hotstick Deer Valley LOMA role. The position works on new construction projects and maintains existing overhead facilities, with work potentially involving voltages from 69KV to 500KV. Work is performed in the field and/or at an APS facility. The role may involve out-of-town assignments and emergent calls, and may offer the opportunity to support External Human Cargo (EHC) operations. The established headquarters is subject to relocation to the Hub West Service Center, a facility planned for a location 38 miles west of downtown Phoenix, on a date to be determined by the Company. Employees must reside in Arizona and live or relocate within a reasonable distance of headquarters, defined for this position as one hour; the requirement is waived for departments where most work is performed out of town and crews are not required to report to headquarters unless directed by leadership. Alternative days and hours may be required, specifically Tuesday through Saturday, per LOMA (3/12/2008). Necessary overtime is required. Candidates must pass written and hands-on testing, including demonstrating climbing skills. A post-offer, pre-placement DOT exam must be completed with an APS-designated provider at the Deer Valley clinic in coordination with Health Services.
