Hiring on Lineman Central
Lassen Municipal Utility District (LMUD) is the community-owned electric utility in Susanville, California: northeastern California, high desert and timber. Roughly 10,500 customers. Small district, real transmission and distribution work.
Step 01. Pay
On the Lineman Central job board (August 2026) a Journeyman Lineman posting listed $68.64/hr. That matches LMUD's public announcement for the same hire. District health and retirement are part of the package. Confirm the live posting before you move.
Step 02. Apprentice
Recent openings have been journeyman, not green apprentice seats: completed apprenticeship, journeyman card, rubber-glove experience, Class A CDL or get it within six months. IBEW Local 1245 has carried LMUD calls in the past. Verify current affiliation with the hall.
Step 03. Journeyman
Overhead and underground distribution and transmission. Poles, transformers, switching, fault location, substation equipment, energized rubber-glove work. Susanville sits about 85 miles north of Reno: mountain weather, hunting and fishing country, a small crew covering a big footprint.
Step 04. Hiring
They posted Journeyman Lineman on the Lineman Central career center in 2026 (open until filled) and on lmud.org/careers. Apply on our board first. District application plus resume.
