Journeyman Development Program
Utility line workers and substation mechanics power communities by installing, maintaining and repairing infrastructure for power distribution systems, including substations, overhead power lines, or underground electrical systems. If you enjoy traveling and working outdoors with electrical equipment, the B&B Journeyman Development Program may be for you. Working in the electrical utility industry requires extensive travel, as well as supporting emergency restorations due to bad weather.
This program provides the knowledge and skills to install, operate, maintain, and repair electrical systems, as well as associated power transmission lines and substations. Using proven training methods by instructors with extensive experience, the program combines online courses with practical, hands-on training. You will study basic circuits, wiring practice, A.C. and D.C. controls, safety procedures, and the power lines. As experience and ability increase, the work will be broadened to include more responsibility. Safety is of the highest priority in this industry so training will focus on recognizing hazards and working safely. You will be required to satisfactorily complete certain technical and nontechnical training.
