Workers in the electrical distribution or transmission industry who string and join powerlines, both overhead and underground. In some organisations, they can train to become "Live Linesmen", who are qualified to work on live voltages above 1000V AC RMS.
Extra linesmen had to be called in from other depots after the storm, with all the conductors down all over the region.
