Key Responsibilities

Forbes Bros. Group of Companies is seeking experienced Journeyman Linemen (Powerline Technicians) to support the construction of high-voltage transmission infrastructure. In this role, you'll apply your technical expertise to the installation, assembly, stringing, maintenance, and repair of electrical powerline systems while working alongside experienced field crews.
This opportunity is well-suited for a skilled Journeyperson with hands-on transmission construction experience, particularly in lattice tower climbing, conductor stringing, clipping, and dead-ending. You'll contribute directly to the construction of critical electrical infrastructure while working in a safety-focused, hands-on field environment.
Construct transmission powerlines: Perform all phases of new transmission and distribution powerline construction, including installing, inspecting, maintaining, and repairing overhead and underground electrical systems.
Climb and assemble structures: Safely climb lattice towers, frame wood and steel structures, and assemble and erect lattice transmission structures according to project specifications.
Perform conductor stringing: Complete overhead conductor stringing activities, including clipping, dead-ending, and assisting with the setup and operation of puller and tensioner sites.
Operate construction equipment: Safely operate specialized equipment, tools, and machinery used in transmission and distribution construction and maintenance.
Troubleshoot electrical systems: Identify and resolve issues with overhead transmission and distribution infrastructure while ensuring work meets applicable standards and construction requirements.
Maintain safety standards: Follow established safety procedures, use required personal protective equipment, recognize hazards, and participate in tailboard meetings, safety observations, and incident reporting.
Ensure quality workmanship: Complete work according to engineering drawings, specifications, and client requirements, identify deficiencies, and assist with inspections and corrective actions.
Support field crews: Collaborate with supervisors and crew members, participate in safety and quality meetings, and share technical knowledge with apprentices and less-experienced workers.
