Electrical Power Line Installers and Repairers

[ATVVideoProductions]

Lets not forget the telco linemen. We also work just as hard as the power linemen, on poles and in manholes. The difference is we have to splice thousands of small wires. Every phone line (or dsl line) needs a pair of wires to put the circuit through.

It's a great job. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Heights up to 40 foot..... double that and add some more on some of the poles and structures i have climbed. and they shouldn show that guy climbing watching his feet and taking little steps down the pole this is a great job though i wouldn trade it for the world wife hates it but it pays for her shopping sprees!!!!

[leebers4]

the best job ever! most people dont even know what a lineman is, they just think the lights will always turn on with a flip of a switch.

The people who perform this work are some of the most underappreciated folks on earth. They are in fact some of the truly greatest unsung heroes of our infrastructure.

[joetoorivers]

when you are a lineman most people think you are a lazy overpaid schmuck until their power is out. Then you are their best friend, until the power is on again. A good way to shut them up is to hand them the belt& spurs and tell them to show YOU how to do it....

[twiggyzippo]

HELL YEA! no one appreciates how much training and hard work goes into that shyte!

[tuscaleado]

Wow, I dunno. This is probably one of the worst recruitment videos I've seen. You want to sell a trade not talk about how hard it is, how horrible the working environment is, or how you have to be away from home for several days at a time working long long hours. :( I used to want to be a power line installer and repairer, but now... I think I'm going to find something else to do. Thanks for helping me not to make the wrong career choice, collegerecruiter!
