Looks like we're looking for an entry-level mechanic. Right now this is only posted internally for 10 days per a Union requirement. Even if I gave a POC, you wouldn't be allowed to apply until after the 10 days is over. If the position isn't filled, then it will be posted externally at AEP.com. I stopped in and talked to HR about it and they don't anticipate it being filled from within since it is a Mechanic-C entry level position. I would anticipate lots of interest in it if/after it goes public.
