As a lineman, my day usually starts with reviewing the crew’s assigned work. Then we gather any of the necessary materials, tools, and equipment needed to complete our work and load it on trucks. On any given day we might be conducting electric equipment maintenance such as replacing aging poles, transformers or conductors. Crews may also work on road widening jobs and others are responsible for connecting new services. We are all ready to respond to any outages that may occur as the day progresses.
