How do they match: Telecommunications Line Installers and Repairers

  • Access specific areas to string lines, or install terminal boxes, auxiliary equipment, or appliances, using bucket trucks, climbing poles or ladders, or entering tunnels, trenches, or crawl spaces.
  • Compute impedance of wires from poles to houses to determine additional resistance needed for reducing signals to desired levels.
  • Dig holes for power poles, using power augers or shovels, set poles in place with cranes, and hoist poles upright, using winches.
  • Measure signal strength at utility poles, using electronic test equipment.
  • String cables between structures and lines from poles, towers, or trenches, and pull lines to proper tension.
