About the job

Are you enthusiastic about turning the lights on and doing it safely? Do you enjoy working on a success driven crew? If so, this opportunity may be the right fit for you!

CORE Electric Cooperative is seeking a Journeyman Lineman to join our District Operations team, reporting to the District Line Superintendent, located in our Conifer Office. This role is responsible for the performance of labor necessary for the construc­tion and maintenance of electrical distribution and transmission lines.

This is a Non-exempt onsite position at our Conifer office, located at 13404 Old U.S. Highway 285, Conifer, CO 80470. You must reside within 40 miles of this location; no remote or hybrid work options available.

You will...

• Perform duties that are semi-routine involving an intensive practical knowledge of duties related to electric power lines. Most duties are performed within the limits of standard practice but there are occasions where a variety of procedures could be used, and judgment must be considered to determine what action should be taken. A supervisor may not always be present, thus requiring independent action by the Lineman. The Line Superintendent provides supervision to ensure that all job requirements are accomplished. When working on a crew, general guidance and direction are received from the Working Foreman. When engaged in service work, the employee plans and arranges own work receiving only general direction from the Line Superintendent.
