Job description

This posting is for transitioning military members and military spouses seeking DOD SkillBridge training opportunities.

If you aren't in that demographic, please apply to other openings.

If you are seeking full time employment and not a SkillBridge opportunity, please apply directly to our other open roles.



Pike's SkillBridge program can provide training for those seeking roles as entry level lineworkers (Groundman, Equipment Operator, Truck Driver, Substation Ground Technician), engineering technicians (Power Engineering Technologist, GIS Technician, CAD Technician) and for members of our project management organization (Assistant Project Manager, Project Manager, Work Management Technician).

The cover letter should include:

The type of role you are interested in training for selected from the above list or another role you have seen on our career site that you'd be interested in training for.



The location you are interested in training in.

We do not offer remote training opportunities; all training is in office.

You will need to be in a commutable distance from the training location.

We prefer to train you in the location where you will work after the training is complete.

We've found this offers the most successful outcomes.



Dates including your anticipated Skillbridge start date, terminal leave date, and EAS/ETS, if you are medically separating provide your anticipated dates and where you are in the process.

If your installation or service branch has required application lead times, please provide those to ensure we are aware of the timeline to get your application processed and returned to you for processing by your leadership.
