Lineworker

Common card · No. 217323

A lineworker, also known as a lineman, powerline worker, or, in the United Kingdom, a linesman, builds and maintains the electric power transmission and electricity distribution systems that deliver electrical energy to industrial, commercial, and residential locations. A lineworker installs, maintains, and performs emergency repairs on electrical lines during events like thunderstorms, high winds, ice storms, or ground disruptions. In contrast, those who install and maintain electrical wiring inside buildings are electricians; lineworkers generally work on outdoor installations.
