Description

Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC), a member-owned electric utility, is hiring a 1st Class Lineworker at our Newport District.

We're seeking a safety-focused, team-oriented Journeyman Lineworker who thrives in a collaborative environment. The ideal candidate embraces new technologies, delivers high-quality work, and values strong communication with both co-workers and our member-owners. As a cooperative, we're proud to serve our community directly, and we prioritize people and relationships above all.

Why do our employees love working at VEC? It's the people! We're a regional employer of choice because we genuinely care about our team members. If you're looking to be part of a workplace that prioritizes unity, excellence, and an unwavering commitment to safety, VEC is the place for you.

If you're considering a move, keep in mind that this position requires working outdoors in all types of weather, including extreme conditions. As a rural utility, our service lines are often off-road, so pole climbing and challenging terrain are part of the job. This role includes participation in the on-call rotation and requires regular overtime, both planned and unexpected. You must live within 45 minutes of the Newport District by the end of your first year.

At VEC, we're committed to providing safe, affordable, and reliable energy while leading the charge in shaping our energy future. We strive to give our best every day, inspired by the difference we make for our members. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, retirement plans, life insurance, combined time off, and an award-winning wellness program.

VEC also invests in your success by covering all necessary training, apprenticeship programs, licenses, tools, and safety gear. Plus, we provide an annual clothing allowance for flame-resistant gear and safety boots.

Join VEC and be part of a team where your work truly matters.
