Wichita lineman (or Ga Power) - my son is interested in this field, how does he get on?
- Thread starter Cadcom
- Start date
Had a good friend that was a Southern Company(GA Power) lineman for years.....hard work for sure!! To what the guy said earlier....I guess they do their own training....It's hard to get on there....I suppose it's the same today....BUT...if he sticks with it, it has rewards!!....until there is a big storm somewhere....he's gone in 2-3 hours.....there was an issue about college, as I remember....lineman was about as high as you could go in the company without a college degree....
Ga power is switching over to contractors it seems .
We recently had some work done at the lines serving our house and some of the folks that came out were ga power employees and another day it was contractors .
The ga power employees were complaining that they couldn’t get workers and that their location was down from 16 linemen to 4 .
I know someone who works at ga power ,
Doing something in their health and safety dept or something , lemme see if I can get in touch and ask where to start .
Although I’m sure ga power or southern company webpage will have some link for careers .

If your going with a contractor check their safety record.Pike was bad years ago,don't know about now.
I was a sub station electrican for Florida Power& Light and when i moved to Ga. i went to a company in Bremen called Audrey Silvey.They build sub stations all over and pay well.
North Georgia technical college offers this; They get their CDL at the same time too. (I was there just for CDL training)
its usually 8-10weeks. Your son maybe be able to get a Ga workforce grant. I was able to back in 2016 and the 8 week CDL school cost me nothing.

Politics. Who do you know?
Fact. I was just about to post this…
Best way to get on at Ga Power now is through the lineman school in Trenton or Dalton…. Most of the new hires in NW region are coming from there now. I’ve been at Ga Power for 25 years. I see them come and go…
