If you are looking for a career that involves working outdoors, Ameren Illinois may have what you are looking for. The utility is seeking linemen (and women). They work in all kinds of weather conditions, so one must be physically fit.

Kevin Place is the director of Electric Training for Ameren Illinois. He says a lineman will work in extreme heat and extreme cold.
