line crew

Power pole climbers

A line crew is a team of workers who install, maintain, and repair electrical power lines or telephone cables.

The work involves climbing poles, operating bucket trucks, and handling high-voltage equipment—often in hazardous conditions or during storm emergencies: The line crew worked through the night to restore power.
