Telecommunications linesworkers work all over Western Australia to maintain the infrastructure needed for our telecommunications networks. They generally work normal business hours but may be on call for after-hours emergencies. Depending on their location, some travel may be required.

Telecommunications linesworkers work with different telecommunications infrastructure, including aerial wires, and underground cables and radio and mobile phone antennae. They use electrical instruments to locate faults in telecommunications infrastructure and use special equipment to join cables and seal sheaths. Telecommunications lineworkers may also use elevated platforms to work on aerial wires.
