How it works for substation and relay technicians

Licenses

Common here: NERC system operator certification, OSHA 10-hour construction. A license with its number counts for matching; verification is optional.

Trade partners you might meet

Lineworkers, electrical engineers and plant operators.

Where you'd meet

At the yard, the plant gate or a coffee in town. Field and plant roles always meet in person.

Mentoring

Relay techs mentor electricians and lineworkers moving into substation work.

Questions

Do substation and relay technicians need a résumé?

No. You answer a tap-only questionnaire, check your skills and how deep each one goes, play a few short work stories, and invite people to vouch for you.

How is my license shown?

Entered with its number and state, it counts for matching right away and shows as "Self-reported". Verification ($29.99) adds a "Verified" badge. The number is never shown.

Can I meet over video?

No. This work always meets in person: at the yard, the plant gate or a coffee in town. Field and plant roles always meet in person.
