How Can This Help?
If you want to get started in the lineman trade, the IBEW hall is the best place to start. Many of these union halls will post open jobs or what are called “standing calls”. Standing calls are job calls that have not yet been filled, and are ripe for the taking! You can go to your local IBEW hall & sign the out of work books as a groundman, and they will call you with work if a job becomes available. However, if you are willing to travel, you can check any of these IBEW halls websites, look for a tab that says “job calls” or “dispatch” and see if there are any jobs available. Not all union halls have open jobs available online. For a lot of halls, you will need to call the dispatch at that IBEW Outside hall, listen to the directory and listen to standing calls.
