Who You Are:

- Must have a valid Class A Commercial Learner’s Permit or a full Class B Commercial License, except as outlined in paragraph b below, when applicable.
- Upon successful entry into the position, the employee must obtain a permanent Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) within the time frames listed below which includes all required endorsements (i.e., Airbrakes and Combination Vehicles).
- A newly hired employee must obtain a permanent CDL and required endorsements within his/her probationary period as defined under Article 17.1 of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Failure to do so will result in termination of employment. Additionally, should the employee during his/her probation period successfully bid or transfer under the exception outlined in Section 17.3 of the CBA (reporting location only), the time period for obtaining the permanent CDL and endorsements will not be extended.
- Employees who have already completed their probation period, as defined in Section 17.1 of the CBA, and that successfully transfer or bid into this classification must obtain their permanent CDL and required endorsements within nine (9) months from the date of transfer. Should any availability issues with the vendor providing CDL training occur that prevent the employee from starting their CDL training in a timely manner the time period of the delay will be added on to the original nine (9) month period (Ex. Employee transfers into group on 1/1/2024, vendor cannot arrange for training to begin until 6/1/2024, nine-month period begins on 6/1/2024). If the employee does not obtain his/her permanent CDL and/or required endorsements by the end of the nine (9) month period, he/she must successfully bid out of the department prior to the end of that period into a position that does not require a CDL in order to maintain his/her employment. Additionally, should the employee during the nine (9) month period successfully bid or transfer (reporting location only), this period will not be extended as it is tied to classification and job family and not reporting location.
- Notwithstanding Section 8.21 of the CBA, the Company and the Union now agree that the Company will pay the associated costs related to the successful bidder or transfer obtaining his or her initial permanent CDL and endorsements, one time for the duration of his/her employment at Enbridge Gas Ohio, including rehire after termination. Should the employee fail any portion of this process, he/she will be responsible for paying any additional fees out of pocket. Because the Company pays these costs only once per employee, employees who transfer or bid out of positions requiring CDLs should consider maintaining their CDLs and endorsements so that they can be eligible to transfer or bid back into positions requiring CDLs in the future as those employees will be required to have their permanent CDL at the time of bidding or transfer rather than a Commercial Learner’s Permit.
- Must pass a reasonable physical test and must be physically capable of performing strenuous physical work.
- Must pass required Operator Qualification (OQ) training and maintain all required Operator Qualifications (OQ) for the C&M Helper position.
- Must obtain and maintain their permanent Class A CDL and required endorsements as described above.
- Must have a mechanical aptitude to work with tools and equipment.
- Must have an acceptable attendance and work record.
- Must be willing to work overtime. After twelve (12) months in the Helper Classification, this includes the responsibility to be reasonably available for emergency callouts.
