About Central Moloney

Since 1949, Central Moloney has been building the transformers that keep the lights on across America. Literally — when you flip a switch, there's a good chance a CMI transformer made that happen. At our Pine Bluff facility, we don't just make critical equipment; we build careers. If you want to learn a skilled trade from people who've mastered it, this is where you do it.

As an Electrician Trainee at CMI, you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with electricians who've spent years mastering industrial power systems — and their job is to teach you everything they know. You'll put your hands on real equipment from day one: troubleshooting electrical systems, tackling mechanical repairs, and learning what it takes to keep a transformer plant running.

If you've got a solid maintenance foundation and you're ready to specialize in a trade that pays, travels, and never goes out of demand — this is your way in.
