Summary

With 4 years experience in electrical line work and a few short tests shy of finishing a Lineman Apprenticeship, I believe I have everything and more than what your are looking for in an Apprentice Meter technician. My broad knowledge of the electrical field, along with my fun attitude, great communication skills, and hard work will be a perfect fit.
