About the program

Powerline technicians construct, maintain and repair overhead and underground electrical power transmission and distribution systems. They also diagnose and solve problems like power disturbances or storm damage.

Since reliable electricity is one of the pillars of modern society, their work supports the entire economy. They power new communities and growing municipalities. Powerline techs usually work for utility companies and their contractors. 

This program has trained powerline techs since the 1970s. It will equip you with all of the skills, qualifications and connections you need to work as a journeyperson powerline technician. You’ll learn from our dedicated and experienced instructors in labs carefully designed to recreate real-world working conditions.
