Original job description

About Us

Forbes Bros. Group of Companies is a leading utility infrastructure contractor helping power communities across Canada and the United States. Built on family roots, we value safety, hard work, and getting the job done right for our clients. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities to build your skills and grow your career.

Role Details

Location: Initially based in Yorkton, SK or Prince Albert, SK. Crews may transition to other projects within the region as work is completed.
Work arrangement: On-site work supporting distribution.
Employment type: Full-time, permanent or temporary
Schedule: Monday to Friday, with frequent overtime and weekend work as project requirements dictate.

The Opportunity

Working under the direction of a Foreman or Construction Manager, the Apprentice Powerline Technician assists with the construction, maintenance, and repair of overhead and underground power systems. You will support transmission and distribution work, including installing cables, inspecting equipment, and helping troubleshoot electrical systems.

This opportunity suits someone with powerline or related industry experience who wants to develop their trade skills and work toward certification. You will gain practical experience alongside a field crew while learning to interpret construction drawings, solve problems, and complete work safely in varying site conditions.

Key Elements of the Role

Assist with the construction, installation, maintenance, and removal of overhead and underground transmission and distribution lines and equipment.
Support inspections, troubleshooting, and repairs to high- and low-voltage power systems, substations, and related electrical components under crew direction.
Transport materials and assist with installing and maintaining power cables, including laying underground cable in trenches.
Develop the ability to read and interpret site plans, construction drawings, and work instructions.
Follow company safety requirements and safe work practices, recognize hazards, apply appropriate controls, and ask for clarification when needed.
Communicate clearly with crew members and supervision, contribute to safety improvements, and help complete assigned work efficiently and within project deadlines.
Enrol in and complete required training and documentation toward Lineman certification.

What You’ll Bring

At least six months of experience in the powerline industry or a related field.
Ability to accurately distinguish colours used in electrical components and systems.
Strong safety awareness, with the ability to recognize hazards and apply the hierarchy of controls to eliminate or reduce risks.
Strong listening, problem-solving, and time-management skills, with the ability to meet deadlines.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to follow direction and complete assigned tasks independently or as part of a crew with minimal supervision.
Ability to perform physically demanding work, including manual labour and heavy lifting, in varying weather and site conditions.
A valid driver’s licence, minimum Class 5, and a clean and acceptable driver’s abstract. A Class 1A licence is an asset.

Equal Opportunity & Recruitment

Forbes Bros. Group of Companies and its affiliated entities are equal opportunity employers committed to a respectful and accessible recruitment process. We make employment decisions based on job-related qualifications and do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, national or ethnic origin, citizenship, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital or family status, genetic information, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Applicants must currently be legally authorized to work in the country where the position is located and must maintain valid work authorization throughout their employment.

Employment is subject to the requirements of the applicable role, location, project, and employing entity. Depending on the position, this may include verification of work authorization, background screening, review of driving records or driver’s abstracts, drug and alcohol screening, credential verification, client or site-access requirements, and other pre-employment conditions permitted by applicable law.

Accommodations are available throughout the recruitment process in accordance with applicable law. Applicants who require accommodation are encouraged to contact the recruitment team so we can discuss their needs and arrange appropriate support.
