Responsibilities

The PLT’s will construct, maintain, and repair overhead and underground electrical power transmission and distribution systems. The PLT must erect and maintain steel, wood or concrete poles, towers, and guy wires. The PLT shall install, maintain, and repair overhead and underground power lines and cables, and other associated equipment such as insulators, conductors, lightning arrestors, switches, transformers, and lighting systems. The PLT shall splice and terminate conductors and related wiring to connect power distribution and transmission networks. Powerline technicians may also be called upon to perform stringing operations for both distribution and transmission circuits. The work always involves travel to and from the work site, which is often in remote areas necessitating the use of a variety of access equipment such as all-terrain vehicles, helicopters, aircraft, and watercraft. The PLT is required to climb and maintain their balance while working overhead on poles and towers. The work requires considerable standing, bending, crawling, crouching, stooping, lifting heavy objects, climbing, pulling cables, and reaching. These tasks may be conducted in cramped, confined spaces or on poles and towers at great heights.

Due to demands from many clients, PLT’s usually work a 50 -70 hour week. PLT’s are required to have good mechanical aptitude, a thorough knowledge of the principles of electricity, power transmission and distribution systems, and communication systems, and familiarity with the materials and techniques of construction. The PLT will use a variety of vehicles and equipment such as articulated bucket trucks, digger derricks, mobile cranes, and trenchers as well as a variety of hand, power, electrical testing, and “hot line” tools and equipment. They may work alone with minimal supervision, and they may supervise others and authorized by Allteck management. The PLT must refer to notes, drawings and forms in order to understand how materials must be assembled or how to use materials appropriately. They must be able to read a wide range of code books, standards of practice, standard work methods, safe work methods, and regulations to ensure that the work is completed in compliance with the industry standards. The PLT will regularly consult standards and regulations involving safe work practices overhead distribution standards, high voltage, and low voltage applications, stringing procedures, line clearing and underground cable installations.
