As a Journeyman Lineman with 10+ years-experience, you've done your time working the field. You've answered every call out, you've been gone from your family for weeks at a time and you've done whatever was needed to get the lights back on because your community depends on you. You are part of a brotherhood that truly matters because without electricity our society does not function.
But, as every Journeyman Lineman knows, your dedication to your job comes with a price: you've missed your kids' games, you've missed your mother-in-law's 75th birthday party (and she and your wife will never let you forget it), you've missed Halloweens, Thanksgivings, Christmases (sometimes all three in a row), you've suffered from severe lack of sleep and you've gotten to know your fellow Linemen way more than you've ever wanted to.
What if we told you there was a way to remain part of the brotherhood and to truly be an integral part of the electric utility community without missing any holidays, any sleep or anybody's birthday parties? As a Lineman Training Instructor for Linemen Institute of the North East (L.I.N.E.) we truly do get the Line Life because we were right there with you. Founded by a 38-year Journeyman Lineman and his family, we have been in the trenches with you and we consciously crafted our Lineman Training Instructor position to reflect the needs as well as desires of our instructors and their families.

Finally . . .
We do things a bit differently at Linemen Institute of the North East. Our training focus is not on how many students we can train each class but rather how well we can train our students each class therefore we have committed to maintaining a very low student/teacher ratio. We want our instructors to know our students' names, weaknesses and strengths and not just as the "next body in line" and therefore we seek instructors who consider their journey through the lineman trade as a constant polishing of their craft and who desire the chance to pass on that craft to the next generation. Here is the opportunity you've been waiting for: it's time to change your life for the better while being an integral part of changing other's lives for the better as well. Btw, this ad was not "reformatted by AI" as offered but was instead written by the very real people with very real professional and life experience at L.I.N.E. Come join us!
