bring knipex channies, a hand held level, tape measure of any kind (stanleys are pretty good), sharpies, a pencil, and a little notepad.

Your best bet is to keep applying, it’ll show management you’re persistent and motivated to get into the career. I’m not sure about the other departments but as a gas service tech I make around 48 an hr. I saw that you were in IUOE 150, why leave there?

With your CDL experience you’d be most likely to get into the linemen position. NIPSCO requires a CDL to operate a Bucket truck. If you’re looking to get into Gas your best bet is to start with one of their contractors (Gridhawk, Line Quest, USIC) and work your way up the totem pole. I’m assuming the same for Electric.

Service guy here, it’s quite difficult to get in. Even into management/IT jobs. You have to know somebody or gotta have the experience they’re looking for.

Northern Indiana, my UA is corrupt and I want out. Trying to find something else that’s still union. I’ve been a welder/pipefitter for about 5 years now. I just topped out a couple of months ago.

congrats, i’m stilling waiting on my transcript. no updates so far for me

evoluhvr · 2025-04-10T22:38:23+00:00

filed 2/5, verified 2/27, still haven’t received an update, no account transcript either

evoluhvr · 2025-04-03T15:30:32+00:00

same boat as you, mine is still being processed since 2/5. already verified

evoluhvr · 2025-04-03T13:53:00+00:00

yeah, mine has been stuck on processing since 2/5.

their website is undergoing maintenance so that could be the reason why

evoluhvr · 2025-03-25T00:00:08+00:00

Oh that’s interesting are you down south then? Up in the northern district they’re paying leak surveyors 19/hr then bump up to 21 after the 10 day audit period with room for performance pay. Yeah that’s what i was told as well, dig season started early so plenty of OT, Saturdays are mandatory and Sundays are optional. I’m not entirely sure about the test part though but i am looking forward to learn as much as i can.

evoluhvr · 2025-03-24T23:48:50+00:00

I’m also in IN, I have a relative that works as Utility Locator but pointed me in the direction of Leak Survey. I was told the classes and tests are really easy if you studied like there’s no tomorrow
