You could apply with TVA they always need people to work on the 750KV power
lines.  Those guys work on the power lines with helicopers.

You could also check with Oak Ridge they have the worlds larges Van De Graff
generator that produces 165 ft sparks.  Its housed in a 16 story building.

Companies that make HV insulators need quality control people to test the
products, engineers to design the products.

Coal mines need electricans to work on their AC equipment which all operates
on high voltage.  Electric AC motors operate at 6400 volts.

Lots of HV jobs around if you know where to look.
