This weekβs spotlight: An opportunity to build and maintain the electric grid, working outdoors with a skilled team.
Job Title: Journeyman Lineman Company: Entergy Location: Little Rock, AR Pay: Not listed (industry average for journeyman linemen is typically $35β$45/hour) Schedule: Full-time; must be available for overtime and emergency call-outs Key Duties:
Construct, maintain, and repair overhead and underground electrical transmission and distribution lines
Operate heavy equipment, climb poles, and work at heights
Ensure all work follows strict safety standards
Respond to outages and emergencies, sometimes in challenging weather conditions
Pay not listed, β at least confirm theyβre in that $35β$45/hr lane and what the storm rate is, because in Little Rock youβll live on βemergency call-outsββ¦ I keep a go-bag in the truck (dry socks, spare headlamp, arc-rated rain gear) and itβs saved me on 2 a.m. ice jobs; also ask how the standby rotation works and if thereβs per diem on storms. If youβre good with that pace itβs a solid gig β do they let you take the bucket home?
