Companies view the Outside Technician Line Worker as a professional technician tasked with the installation, removal, and readjustment of outside plant facilities. A line worker generally performs outdoor installation and maintenance jobs. The line technician connects wires and cables to terminals. They assemble or detach different types of wire to equipment and poles.

The Technician carries out building work, such as channeling holes, readjusting utility poles, placing cable, unreeling and dragging winding wire and cable from pole to pole. In the telecom arena, an Outside Line Tech plays a vital role in the completion of the assigned projects either in-house or at the designated field. They collaborate with government bodies as well as business clients in their ongoing telecom projects.

The technicians are involved in fitting, exclusion, and reordering outside plant services. Technicians link wires and cables to workstations and attach or disengage several types of hardware to system, wires, cables, and poles. The Lineworker sometimes works in severe climatic conditions like rain, freezing conditions, extreme heat, and snow. In fact, the poorer the weather, the extra work there generally is to complete.
