A lineworker (also called a lineman or powerline worker) constructs and maintains the electric transmission and distribution facilities that deliver electrical energy to industrial, commercial, and residential establishments. A lineworker installs, services, and emergency repairs electrical lines in the case of lightning, wind, ice storm, or ground disruptions.[1] Whereas those who install and maintain electrical wiring inside buildings are electricians, lineworkers generally work at outdoor installations.
