Lineman Duties and Responsibilities
To fulfill the daily tasks of installing and repairing electrical lines, a Lineman must handle several tasks. After analyzing several job listings for this occupation, we have identified the following as important duties and responsibilities associated with being a Lineman.
Install Electrical Cables and Lines A main duty of a Lineman is to run electrical cables and lines from power sources to homes and businesses. This can require that they climb poles for overhead lines or dig trenches to install underground cables.
Replace or Repair Electrical Lines A Lineman must be able to troubleshoot problems with electrical lines and find reasons for power outages or other issues. They must have knowledge of splicing wires, replacing cables or performing other types of repairs.
Understand Safety Regulations It is up to a Lineman to be familiar with and work within safety guidelines established by the company they work for as well as federal regulations, such as those outlined by OSHA. They should have full knowledge of safety equipment, tools and supplies to ensure that they and those working around them are safe at all times.
Lineman Skills
Strong problem-solving, analytical, troubleshooting and organizational skills are crucial to be successful as a Lineman. A Lineman should be capable of working both independently and in teams, as some large jobs are usually accomplished by working with other Linemen. Knowledge of electrical and building codes is important for a Lineman. In addition, time management skills are useful as a Lineman is at times responsible for restoring lost power to demanding home and business owners. In addition to these crucial skills and abilities, a Lineman should possess the following capabilities:
- Installing various types of power cables and wires.
- Making repairs to damaged power lines.
- Reading and interpreting wiring diagrams.
- Working outdoors in various types of weather.
Lineman Tools of the Trade: A Lineman should have the ability to use various types of tools that allow them to fulfill all of their job responsibilities. As a professional Lineman, you should be capable of using the following: Hand tools – from crimpers to wire cutters, a Lineman needs to be adept at using tools to measure, cut and splice together power lines. Climbing gear – climbing poles to access overhead power lines is a common responsibility of a Lineman. Familiarity with straps, gaffs and climbing spikes is required. Bucket truck – many Linemen use equipment such as boom lifts on bucket trucks to access overhead wires and cables and a Lineman should be knowledgeable in the operation of this equipment.
Lineman Education and Training
A formal degree from a college or university is not typically a requirement to become a Lineman. A one-year certificate in electrical repair or electronics, coupled with an apprenticeship, could be helpful to those seeking to work in this field. On-the-job training programs are the usual path one follows to become a Lineman; this type of training can in some cases take several years. Obtaining an electrical license could be required by some employers.
Lineman Salary
The BLS reports that the median annual salary for a Lineman is $68,010. A Lineman in the lower percentile is paid a median yearly wage of $36,610, while those at the highest end of the pay scale can earn $98,190. The top three states for a Lineman in terms of annual median wage are California ($94,730), Oregon ($89,300) and Alaska ($86,130).
