Linemen, also known as power line technicians, are responsible for the installation and maintenance of electrical power lines. They work in a variety of settings, including urban, suburban, and rural areas, and may be required to work in all types of weather conditions.
Career Path
There are several different paths that can lead to a career as a lineman. Some linemen start out as apprentice linemen, while others earn a degree or certification in electrical engineering or power line technology. Apprentice linemen typically complete a four-year apprenticeship program, which includes both classroom and on-the-job training. During the apprenticeship program, apprentices learn about the different aspects of line work, including how to install and maintain power lines, as well as how to troubleshoot and repair electrical problems.
Linemen who have a degree or certification in electrical engineering or power line technology may be able to enter the field without completing an apprenticeship program. However, they will still need to complete some type of training program before they can work on live power lines.
