About CORE

CORE Electric Cooperative is the largest member-owned electric distribution cooperative in Colorado dedicated to providing reliable, affordable, clean, and safe electric service to our communities. With a commitment to innovation and member satisfaction, we strive to meet the evolving needs of our members while maintaining the highest standards of service excellence.

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 Operations team, reporting to the District Line Superintendent, located in our Woodland Park 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 Woodland Park office, located at 800 N Hwy 67, Woodland Park, CO 80863. You must reside within 40 miles of this location.

This is a union position, subject to the terms and conditions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and governed by CORE's rules, regulations, policies, and applicable state and federal law.

CORE employees are required to work in a safe manner in accordance with regulatory standards and requirements.

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. Contacts with others are considerable as a Lineman's responsibilities call for contact with consumers and members. These contacts can influence the members' opinion of the Cooperative.

We are excited to speak to someone with the following...

• A high school diploma or equivalent is required.
• At least four years of apprenticeship training as a Lineman II or apprentice in the construction and maintenance of electric transmission and distribution lines.
• If no apprenticeship was served, a minimum of four years' experience related to line construction and maintenance will be required.
• A valid unrestricted class A Colorado Commercial Driver's License and a DOT medical certificate are required and must be maintained. This position is subject to DOT controlled substances and alcohol testing regulations.
• Employee must reside no more than 40 road miles from their respective district office.

CORE offers a comprehensive benefits package including the following...

• 9/80 work schedule (3-day weekend every other week)
• Eight paid holidays per year
• 160 Hours of accruable PTO per year to start (Vacation time and sick time)
• About 48 days off a year (PTO, every other Friday off, and paid holidays combined)
• Paid parental leave (80 hours)
