MA #1040 Limited Maintenance Electrician JATC
The MA #1040 Metro Limited Maintenance Electrician JATC is registered to train apprentices in three trades: Limited Maintenance Electrician (LME), Stationary Engineer (SE) and the Limited Building Maintenance (LBME). The LME program consists of 4,000 on-the-job training hours and two years of core classes. The SE program consists of 8,000 on-the-job training hours and four years of core classes. The LBME program consists of 2,000 on-the-job training hours and one year of core classes. After the LME or SE program, the apprentice would be eligible to test for their LME license. The LME license allows the holder to repair, replace, and maintain electrical equipment of a type normally found in an industrial plant, commercial office building, or building owned and operated by the state, a local government entity, or institution. Electrical work is limited to 600 volts and less. After LBME program, the apprentice would be eligible to test for their BME license. The BME license allows the holder to maintain, repair, and replace certain electrical installations required on the premises of commercial office buildings, buildings occupied by the state or a local government entity, or facilities designated by the Oregon Electrical and Elevator Board in electrical systems not exceeding 300 volts to ground. The installation of new electrical equipment is not allowed. LMEs, Stationary Engineers and LBMEs usually work in one location or a complex of buildings under one owner.
The MA #1040 JATC meets six times per year to conduct business. The Committee is governed by a policy document and a State-approved Standard for each trade. Please refer to the Standard for details about each program.

All apprenticeship classes are open enrollment and open to the general public who meet the required prerequisites. However, students are only eligible to seek an apprenticeship degree or to receive a journey card or to sit for a licensing exam upon successful completion of a registered apprenticeship program as administered by a registered JATC. To officially register for and earn hours through the LME and SE apprentice programs, students must be currently employed and sponsored by an approved employer. To officially register for and earn hours through the LBME apprentice program, students must be currently employed sponsored by an approved employer or can apply as an open applicant seeking to be sponsored by an employer. Applying as an open applicant this does not guarantee that you will be contacted, interviewed or chosen to be sponsored by a registered training agent. Please see the How to Apply to be an apprentice page for more information. PCC is not currently able to place students in employment for apprenticeship purposes.
Limited Maintenance Electrician and Stationary Engineers apprentices take a core class every term (fall, winter, spring, summer). For LME apprentices and Stationary Engineer apprentices, Term 1 may begin in fall term or spring term. For LBME apprentices, must begin their Term 1 in fall term and must complete their OSHA 10 and Coyne 1st Aid Safety class before logging any on-the-job training hours. However, an apprentice may begin their program at any term during the year. If an apprentice begins their program in a term when their core class is unavailable they must enroll in an approved elective from the training committee’s list of approved electives.
Booklists for all classes are available through the PCC Cascade Bookstore and may be purchased in person from the bookstore or online from the PCC bookstore or any online retailer.
