It's for California. you wouldn't happend to know the hourly rate for this position would you?

I would not, in district 4….

you can search the web for ATT District 9 CWA contract.

Would expect a PDF file 400+ pages, lists all various job titles and pay ranges.

I would expect entry level to be around $18-$20 with raises every 6 months till reach max pay. Top tier techs at max pay would be around $45-$50 and may take 5 years, think trades (electrician as example) for apprenticeship to journeyman. 

California rates would likely be higher than the Midwest area I am in.
