Division Toll Wire Chief

A typical week tends to involve crew assignments across the division's toll network, capital and maintenance planning, response to outages on long-haul circuits, coordination with engineering and switching, safety walks, and the steady administrative work senior plant operations require. Outages on toll circuits affect customers across the division, raising the stakes on every response.

Coordination spans field crews and district chiefs, dispatchers, engineering, switching, regulators, and corporate. The hardest part is often holding network reliability through long-tail challenges — aging infrastructure, technology transitions, contractor capacity. Safety in long-distance plant work has zero margin as crews work in conditions and environments where mistakes are unforgiving.

People who tend to thrive here are operationally relentless, technically grounded across long-haul plant, and respected by experienced field leaders. If you struggle with on-call exposure or the politics of senior plant operations, the role can wear. If you find satisfaction in a division-wide network that holds up reliably and crews that trust how you operate, the role can be steady and respected within long-distance operations.
