It just so happens that Point Beach has posted for eight Maintenance Electricians this week this is the pay scale they list in the posting:

        1       4       $20.79
        2       5       $27.06
        3       6       $27.85
        4       6       $28.65
        5       6       $29.45
        6       6       $30.24
        7       6       $31.04
        8       6       $31.84
        9       6       $32.65
        10      9       $33.44
        99      0       $34.65

Column one is what they call a step
Column two is the number of months to reach the next step
Column three is self explanitory.

It is possible to hire in at higher than step one, it all depends apon your experience.

Hope this helps

Thanks sassycat for that info. Given the cost of living in So. CA. vs WI. it is a pretty sure bet that the scale will be some what higher in CA. At least there is now a point a point of reference ;)

You would think so, but sadly it isn't true.  SCE figures that if you want to live in paradise badly enough you'll do it without their help.  A lot of SONGS employees have commuting times of two hours each way so they can afford their housing.

Beer Court is right. SCE doesn't pay it's operators any better than anyone else does in the country, so it's probably that way across the board.

Also, most utilities don't offer any higher than the lowest paygrade for that skill unless you have some SERIOUS skills because their union contracts don't allow it.
