Power Restoration Workers - Maine

1st Class Lineworkers | Apprentice Lineworkers | Pole Setters | Truck & Transport Mechanics

Looking for an opportunity to put your skills to work, travel, and earn strong compensation during major storm events?

Holland New England, part of the Holland Power Services group of companies, is a leading storm restoration contractor providing experienced crews to utilities when severe weather impacts the electrical grid.

We are continuously recruiting casual, on-call storm personnel for our Ellsworth, Maine division. Our crews mobilize to support power restoration efforts throughout the United States, with opportunities to travel to other regions when required.

Storm work isn't a typical Monday-to-Friday job. Callouts can happen with little notice, days can be long, and conditions can be challenging. For the right person, it offers excellent earning potential, travel opportunities, valuable experience, and the chance to work alongside an experienced storm restoration team.

Please note: Applicants must currently reside in Canada or the United States. International recruitment and relocation are not available for these casual, on-call positions.  Must be legally authorized to work in the United States

We are continuously recruiting:

• 1st Class Lineworkers who have completed an industry-recognized lineworker training program or equivalent
• Apprentice Lineworkers looking to further their careers and gain experience
• Experienced Pole Setters
• Experienced Truck & Transport Mechanics

What we're looking for

Successful candidates should:

• Hold a valid commercial driver's license (CDL), or be able to obtain the required license within six (6) months
• Be able to meet applicable pre-employment drug testing requirements and participate in ongoing random drug and alcohol testing as required by FMCSA/DOT regulations
• Hold valid travel documentation and be eligible to travel as required for storm restoration assignments
• Be physically capable of performing the essential duties of the position in demanding weather and field conditions
• Have knowledge of applicable line materials, equipment, trade practices, operating standards and safety requirements
• Demonstrate a strong safety record and commitment to safe work practices
• Communicate effectively and maintain positive working relationships with supervisors, crew members, customers and industry partners
• Work effectively as part of a crew and follow established procedures and direction
• Be willing and able to respond to unplanned storm events, sometimes with limited notice
• Demonstrate professionalism, reliability and a commitment to continuous improvement

What storm work looks like

Storm restoration is unpredictable by nature. When severe weather hits, our crews may be called to mobilize quickly and travel away from home for extended periods. Assignments may involve long shifts, challenging weather and changing conditions as crews work to safely restore power.

Our crews have supported restoration efforts across the United States and beyond, giving storm personnel the opportunity to work in different regions, alongside different utilities and crews, and gain experience they may not get through regular construction work.

Storm work provides the opportunity to earn strong compensation in concentrated periods of work, travel, gain valuable restoration experience, and make a real difference in communities affected by severe weather.

What we provide

Holland New England offers competitive storm compensation and incentives. Clothing and required safety gear are provided while on assignment, and accommodations, meals/per diems and eligible travel expenses are covered during storm callouts.

These are casual, on-call positions. Storm work is weather-dependent, and placement on our storm roster does not guarantee callouts, hours of work, location of assignment or the duration of an assignment.

If you're experienced, safety-focused, work well as part of a crew and are ready to answer the call when severe weather hits, we'd like to hear from you.
