There has been a shortage of qualified electrical workers my entire 30 year career. It's getting worse, and at a faster rate. It's a quantifiable fact.
If you know the solution, be my guest. It's a national problem, and well known. If you know how to solve it and can produce results, you could be an instant multi-millionaire.
Linemen and substation wiremen wages start at over $100K a year, and we can't find any. We are offering a $15K hiring bonus, and still can't find enough. And this is before we add to the demand for their services.
the top 2 causes for delays in getting capital improvements completed, and repairing/ruggedizing the grid are :
- Not enough Wiremen/linemen, and related support electrical craftsmen
- Not enough Electrical Engineers
Work already isn't getting done. Work that has already been funded, the need identified, and the regulatory approvals ironed out. |
Ugh, every industry is short help right now.
