My dad worked as a hard rock miner and had a coworker who changed careers and became a lineman. He told me about line work. Although I started out doing an electrician apprenticeship, I changed course after 1 year and went to Avista’s line school. From there I worked for several line construction contractors until getting hired on at KEC as a hot apprentice and moved into a journeyman lineman role within 2 months.
