When you think of travel jobs, you might not think about working in the electrical industry right away. Well, what if we told you they’re some of the most valuable (and available!) roles at Van Meter? If you’re looking for entry-level jobs in the electrical industry or just searching for travel jobs where you can explore new places, check out these five perks of travel jobs at Van Meter.
Explore New Possibilities as a Construction Coordinator
1. SEE NEW PLACES
Do you get tired of being in the same place for too long? Do you want to explore different areas of the country? This is your chance!
Van Meter’s traveling construction coordinators and traveling commodities team members are assigned to different jobsites or mobile wire centers throughout the country. You’ll remain onsite for months at a time before being reassigned to new locations. This gives you time to get to know the area and experience what life is like in new places.
2. GET HANDS-ON ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
Are you interested in the electrical industry but not sure what you want to do or how to get started? This is a great entry-level electrical job where you can discover what you like and pick up valuable knowledge. You’ll work on construction jobsites and get a first-hand look at the parts and processes used throughout the electrical industry.
3. MAKE CONNECTIONS
Knowing parts and processes is valuable but so is making connections in the industry. This gives you the chance to meet new people across Van Meter’s 26 locations, as well as the customers you serve daily. You will have experienced people to learn from and like-minded people to work with. Those valuable relationships make work more enjoyable and help you reach your long-term career goals.
4. POWER OUR WORLD
Are you looking for work that makes a real difference? Van Meter’s customers are working on projects that power our world. Think hyperscale data centers, food manufacturers, hospitals and more.
You’ll keep those projects on schedule and ensure they operate smoothly. You’re not just helping the company and its customers succeed. You’re creating lasting value for communities through projects that provide jobs, food, housing and more.
5. OWN YOUR SUCCESS
At the end of the day, it’s about getting paid. When you do important work, you should get rewarded accordingly, right? At Van Meter, you get to own your success because you are an owner in the company.
Van Meter is 100% employee-owned, so you get rewarded when the company succeeds. You’ll earn shares in the company that go directly into a retirement plan called an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). That means financial security now and in the future.
