Why build a job board only for linemen?

Linemen are among the most in-demand and underserved professionals in the entire trades sector. The work is specialized, the licensing and certifications are specific, and general job boards do a poor job of connecting qualified linemen with the contractors and utilities that need them.

What else has Matthew Sorensen built?

He founded Candidate Club, an interview preparation platform that partnered with 37 state workforce agencies and departments of corrections. He is the author of four books on hiring and interviewing and hosts the Hired podcast, which ranks in the top 0.5% of career podcasts worldwide with over 1,000 ratings on Spotify.

About

Matthew Sorensen

Founder of PowerLinemanJobs.com and a recruiting professional with over 15 years placing skilled trades talent across electrical, commercial, and industrial environments.

Why this board exists: linemen deserve a hiring resource built around their trade and the specific demands of the work, not a platform designed for everyone that serves no one particularly well.

The Gap

Why PowerLinemanJobs.com

Fifteen years inside electrical trades hiring made one thing obvious. Linemen are among the most in-demand and underserved professionals in the entire trades sector.

The work is specialized Distribution, transmission, underground, and substation work each carry their own skill set. A generalist board can't tell them apart. If you're weighing tracks, start with distribution vs. transmission line work.

The credentials are specific Climbing certs, a Class A CDL and DOT card, and OSHA 1910.269 knowledge are non-negotiable. Most boards don't even ask.

The matching is broken Qualified linemen and the contractors and utilities that need them keep missing each other. PowerLinemanJobs.com was built to close that gap.
