**IBEW Traveler Snapshot — Saturday, June 20, 2026** **LU-1426 Grand Forks, ND** is the standout call today — 153 open positions at the Polaris Forge Data Center in Harwood, with Parsons Electric holding 75 spots alone. Base scale is $44.80/hr, but add $100/day incentive, $100/day per diem, and a 31.4% shift differential on nights and the take-home gets serious fast. ND license required; bring your Real ID or passport for the Air Base call. **LU-494 Milwaukee, WI** tops the pay scale for data center work — Cupertino, MJ Electric, and Gurtz are all paying $62.73/hr ($10 over scale) at Port Washington with 50-60+ hours per week available. Book 1 is nearly clear at just 5 out, so travelers should move quickly. **LU-405 Cedar Rapids, IA** is quietly one of the best earners on the board — CST and Cupertino are both paying $54.48/hr ($10 over scale) with double-time OT at QTS and EWD Data Centers. 137 open calls, 6-10 schedules, and strong weekly totals for anyone with OSHA 30 and a state license. **LU-26 Washington, DC** holds the highest base scale at $62.00/hr with 159 open calls, heavy data center and WMATA industrial work across Northern VA. Night shift (10pm–6am, Sun–Thu) available through C3M for those who prefer off-peak hours. **LU-354 Salt Lake City, UT** deserves a look — Cupertino and Skyline are both at $61.22/hr ($15 over scale) at QTS Eagle Mountain, and Wasatch is stacking $225/day incentive on top of base scale for 90 total open positions. Overall, the data center build-out is driving most of the volume right now — travelers with OSHA certs, clean backgrounds, and flexibility on schedule have their pick of strong calls coast to coast.
