Hiring on Lineman Central
CREW is Clear River Electric & Water District in Pascoag, Rhode Island: a quasi-municipal, not-for-profit that took over Pascoag Utility District on January 1, 2025 when it merged with Harrisville Fire District water. About 4,800 electric customers in Pascoag and Harrisville.
Step 02. Apprentice
Getting on a CREW crew
The electric department is a handful of first-class and third-class linemen plus a foreman and superintendent, not a large apprentice pipeline. When they hire, they want people who can live with a small-district mix: line work, storm restoration, and sometimes water-side help.
Step 03. Journeyman
What the job is
Distribution for two villages in northwest Rhode Island. CREW is regulated by the Rhode Island PUC. Office at 253 Pascoag Main Street. If a posting says CREW, this is the shop, not a storm contractor with the same acronym.
Step 04. Hiring
How they hire
They posted Journeyman Lineman on the Lineman Central career center in 2026. Apply there first so the click is counted, then follow whatever CREW asks for (crewri.org).
