Summary
I had years as an apprentice lineman, working on transmission, distribution, underground and wind farm work. I loved the work I was just not able to travel any longer due to family issues and had to stop at my 5th step of my apprenticeship. I was a hot apprentice with a couple hundred hours of hot work. For the last 5 years I have been managing a shipping and receiving warehouse in Sweetgrass Montana. I also had a CDL for years and experience running just about any kind of equipment you can think of.I was told about this job from Beau Pitman who works at the Rim site and really think I could be a valuable asset to the team!
