Mountain States Line Constructors
The Mountain States Line Constructors Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program was created to provide quality apprenticeship and training programs for the Outside Electrical Construction Industry. Our focus is clear and unwavering. We are committed to producing the industry's finest craftsmen, and have met employers training needs for nearly a half century.
We are an independent training agency operating under the auspices on the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee. Our national (and international) affiliation insures consistent training and credentials that are recognized universally. Our program is registered with, and monitored by, the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.
We continually seek individuals who are enthusiastic and motivated, and who have the aptitude to work in a challenging work environment. The men and women who build, repair, and maintain electric power lines, and related systems, can look forward to a demanding, but rewarding career.
The MSLCAT geographic region includes the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. Apprentices must accept all job assignments within the Mountain States jurisdiction and must have their own means of reliable transportation. They are expected to travel and live away from home, if necessary. Some jobs offer subsistence pay to off set expenses.
All applicants for apprenticeship who complete the application process, including an oral interview, will be eligible for indenture. Applicants will be selected on an as needed basis, as jobs become available. A good candidate is one with a record of having done well in school, especially in math and science; one who has demonstrated reliability and a sincere desire to succeed; and one who has a positive attitude and a desire to work hard.

Outside lineman (UT, ID, WY, CO, MT)
Apprentice linemen learn to build and maintain the
electrical power line systems. They work in an industry that builds the entire
job from start to finish. The activities of a Journeyman Lineman are
diversified and non-routine. An apprentice will learn and master many skills
and will have the satisfaction of working with a team to complete a project.
The duties of the apprentice lineman often include, but are not limited to,
assembly and erection of metal towers and wood poles along with the installation
of footings, hardware, conductors and other related equipment. Performing work
on conductors, underground cables and related electrical apparatus possibly
energized at voltages up to 500,000 volts. Climbing, lifting, hoisting and
pulling, while installing or repairing equipment, often at considerable
heights. Physically demanding work on all kinds of terrain in locations
inaccessible to mobilized equipment. Work in extreme weather conditions, from
freezing blizzard conditions to temperatures over 100 degrees. The program
generally takes about four years to complete and may require extensive travel.
It consists of a minimum of 7,000 hours of on-the-job training and related
instructional classes, held quarterly on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Apprentices are assigned to a full time job and earn wages while learning the
trade. No compensation is given for related training. Current trends and
changes in the industry fueled by deregulation provide optimism for steady
growth and reliable employment opportunities in the future, especially in the
construction branch of the trade.
