This position is a learning job only, enabling the individual to determine if he/she wants to enter training in line work and enabling the Cooperative to determine whether the individual has the basic skills, interests, and abilities for Line Technician training.

The Operations intern shall be introduced to the Distribution Specifications Manual and will be expected to work with all basic materials and equipment used in line construction overhead (OH) and underground (URD).

  • Install poles, anchors, and guy wires
  • Cut and clear right-of-way properly, using power equipment as necessary, assist on the URD installations (dead) as directed
  • Assist other crew members, as requested and directed.

NATURE OF WORK

The intern works only on the ground and is not expected to participate in any type of construction or maintenance activity on the poles; however, during the training period, he/she is expected to gain experience on practice poles.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND TRAINING

The intern will receive training in safe practices of performing all the above duties and of handling all tools and equipment which are used. In addition, he/she will receive basic training in first aid, including CPR. Under no conditions will the intern have a work assignment which will place him/her within the minimum distance of a hot line.

ELECTRICAL THEORY

The intern will begin learning basic electrical theory, learn the voltages of lines worked on, and should begin to develop an understanding of the distribution system layout.

RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELATED INFORMATION

The intern will learn basic work order procedures and will gain an understanding of the Cooperative's basic residential and commercial rates.

The intern will work under the general supervision of the Operations Manager and the direction of an assigned Line tech or crew leader.
