This blog post is going to go deeper into work settings and conditions, pay ranges and employment outlook…
Being a lineman you need a wide variety of skills like teamwork and customer skills so being able to communicate is key!! In any job you will have to work with people you really don't like and you just have to power through it and keep working on the same team not against. Often work outside sometimes with extreme heat or cold so be ready for that but sometimes inside so just be prepared for any environment. Obviously you will be working around hazardous conditions like cranes setting poles and live power. Let's hope your not afraid of heights because as a apprentice you will need to climb poles 60 ft or higher and later 200 ft+ towers. Your work must be perfect and exact as if it's not your work may be seriously dangerous to others. But don't let any of that scare you let's talk pay, I live in Washington so I will post a chart of the average pay in my area as well as the US average.
