Lineworkers help build and maintain the infrastructure that keeps communities powered. For apprentices entering the trade, having the right tools—and understanding how they are used safely—is part of building a strong foundation. Lineworker work often involves: → climbing and positioning → overhead distribution systems → hand tools and rigging equipment → measuring and testing → jobsite communication → safety-focused work practices New apprentices do not need to buy everything at once. The goal is to understand which tools are essential early, which items are typically employer-provided, and how to build a toolkit over time without wasting money. BCA’s Lineworker Starter Tools guide provides a practical starting point for apprentices preparing to enter one of the most demanding and respected trades in the industry.

In response to the growing need for utlity workers in VA, @laurelridgeedu will be launching a new #powerlineworker training program next month. Grads can expect a starting salary of more than $70K (includes OT) in the upper Shenandoah Valley region. tinyurl.com/5t2t4jm7

Reddit thread about salaries had some shockers: — VP, waste management, 13yoe, $140k $1.4M stock, psych — Tech Sales, $360k, no degree — Financial advisor, $300k, 6yoe, no degree — Powerlineworker, $240k, 5moe — Barber, $130k Feels like "low status" jobs have high wages.
