transmission systems with more than 15,000 miles of line and 200+
substations in a service territory that covers all of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana, and outlying areas. BPA also
operates large inter-regional transmission lines that connect to Canada,
California, the Southwest and eastern Montana. Headquartered in
Portland, Oregon, BPA provides over a third of the power consumed in the
Pacific Northwest. In addition to transmission, BPA helps fund and

**DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:** Work is performed under the supervision
of a Lineman Foreman. The degree of supervision will depend upon tasks
performed and working conditions. **When the Lineman is performing hot
line work, supervision will be direct and detailed.** When the work
situation does not involve hot line work, emergencies, or conditions of
similar scope, the Lineman will complete tasks under more general
supervision. Work is performed in compliance with government
regulations, BPA safety rules, and the BPA-CPTC Collective Agreement.
The Lineman will occasionally direct work of Apprentices, Groundmen,
Line Equipment Operators, Laborers, and other Linemen. The employee must
use judgment when patrolling lines, making investigations and
supervising brush clearing and access road maintenance. **Working
conditions and nature of tasks, particularly hot line work, require that
the Lineman complete the work in a manner that will ensure personal
safety and the safety of the crew.** Linemen are accountable for
government-owned, assigned personal property. They are also responsible
for the proper use of tools, vehicles, and other work equipment that
they use. The Lineman reports to a Lineman Foreman who assigns tasks,
provides instructions and information about the assignments, and reviews
work in progress and upon completion.

**TASKS**

1.  Performs construction and maintenance work **(including hot line
    maintenance)** on either wood pole or steel tower lines including
    excavations and footings, framing and erecting towers and poles,
    hanging insulators and hardware, and stringing, sagging, and
    clipping conductor.

2.  Replaces or repairs damaged steel towers, wood poles, crossarms, and
    conductors; relocates towers and poles; inspects and treats wood
    poles; and replaces insulators.

3.  Performs, or occasionally supervises, right-of-way maintenance work
    such as brush and weed control, cutting or topping danger trees,
    seeding cover crops for erosion control.

4.  Repairs access roads and installs or repairs bridges, culverts,
    fences, and gates.

5.  Maintains microwave towers, antennas, and airway lighting
    installations; performs maintenance tasks in substations, involving
    overhead line work and other tasks requiring the use of line
    maintenance equipment.

6.  Patrols transmission lines and reports conditions of lines.

7.  Takes clearances and occasionally performs switching at unattended
    substations and line sectionalizing disconnect switches.

8.  Completes associated paperwork and completes reports required of the
    above listed tasks.

9.  Drives 25-30% of the time in all weather conditions.

**WORKING CONDITIONS:** The Lineman works outdoors in all kinds of
weather conditions; and may work for long periods in cold, wet, or icy
weather, and high winds.  Work is often performed on steel or wood
structures at considerable heights, and on or near energized conductors
or equipment.  The employee often works in awkward positions, supported
only by a safety belt, or a safety belt and climbers.  In other
instances, the Lineman may work on precipitous slopes, and rugged or
brushy terrain.  When repairing conductors, the Lineman may ride in a
trolley on the conductor, high above the ground.  The Lineman may climb
to considerable heights many times a day.  The employee may walk long
distances over rugged terrain and work in locations inaccessible to
mobile equipment.  The Lineman frequently uses hand tools, such as axes
and hot sticks, or power tools such as chain saws, for extended periods
of time.  The work environment will occasionally include high noise
levels and/or exposure to hazardous substances (i.e., solvents, PCB's,
chemicals, etc.) that could, if precautions are not followed, pose a
health risk.  Approved respiratory and safety equipment shall be worn
when hazardous substances are being handled.  Emergencies, critical
system conditions, or outage limitations may require that work be done
at night and/or under time restraints.  System priorities may require
extended periods of overtime including working weekends. **When assigned
to a live-line bare hand crew the Lineman may be in continuous travel
status.**
