Gas plants need civil and foundation crews, pipefitters and welders, millwrights for the turbines or engines, electricians and instrument techs, and commissioning teams at the end. That is general industry practice, not a VoltaGrid schedule. Many of these trades travel with an RV and work long rotations, so month to month terms and a quiet place to sleep matter.
Inez Spring is one minute off I-20 at Exit 343. The Frontier campus sits north of I-20 near TX-351 and FM 604. Plan on about an hour (est.) each way: west on I-20 toward Clyde, then north. Drive it once at your shift time before you commit. Our page on RV parks for Vantage Frontier near Albany covers the campus itself.
A back-in site is $500 a month. A pull-through up to 100 feet is $650 a month. Electric is metered at your own pedestal at 17 cents per kWh and billed on top, so the honest total is site rent plus your own meter. We do not estimate the electric, because your rig and the season decide it. The deposit is $200 per site and refundable. Terms are month to month, so a crew can stay for one phase or the whole job.
If your company pays per diem, compare the monthly total with your lodging allowance. More on that in per diem RV living in Texas.
Send your start date, how long and how many rigs. The office replies the same day with what is open and a per-month total, electric billed on the meter.
