Linemen
A telecommunications lineman is responsible for installing, repairing, and maintaining the cables and equipment used to transmit voice, data, and video communications. They work on telephone and cable television lines, as well as fiber-optic and wireless communication systems. Communication linemen use specialized equipment to climb utility poles or work from elevated platforms to install and repair cables. They must follow safety protocols to ensure that they do not damage or disrupt any communication lines, and may need to communicate with other workers or members of the public who may be affected by their work. Strong technical skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to work at heights are important qualities for this job.
