A distribution linesperson is a skilled professional who installs, maintains, and repairs the overhead and underground power lines that deliver electricity from substations to residential homes and commercial businesses. Unlike a transmission linesperson who works on high-voltage, long-distance lines, a distribution linesperson typically works on smaller-scale structures, such as wooden poles, and handles voltages up to 132,000 volts. Their job is crucial for ensuring a safe and reliable power supply to end-users.
