$5,000 relocation bonus for out-of-area hires moving to Norfolk 

Ready to move from the field to the classroom? We’re looking for experienced Journeyman Lineworkers to train the next generation in Norfolk, VA. This role is ideal for a journeyman ready to step off the road and into a consistent, mission-driven instructor position—without losing touch with the hands-on work that matters. If you’re currently in the Columbus, OH area and want a stable schedule, a climate-controlled environment, strong benefits, and the chance to shape new lineworkers for the power industry, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

$2,500 sign-on bonus + $5,000 relocation bonus for qualified out-of-area hires moving to Norfolk, VA.

Position Purpose 

The Electrical Lineworker program prepares students for entry-level roles in the utility industry through focused safety training, technical instruction, and hands-on fieldwork. Students learn essential skills in tool use, ladder and scaffold safety, electrical fundamentals, grounding, circuit analysis, and the proper use of PPE.

Training includes climbing and working on utility poles, inspecting climbing gear, performing pole-top rescues, and completing CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogen certification. Students also gain experience with aerial framing, pole setting, rigging, trenching, and operating equipment such as bucket trucks and digger derricks.

Graduates leave with the practical skills and confidence needed to safely support electrical distribution construction and maintenance and to advance into further technical training or apprenticeships.
