Stepping stone
For those who have been in this profession, I have a question.
A little context: I was recently offered a Tower Technician/Inspector position. The role mainly consists of tower inspections, taking measurements/photos of towers, and some labor work. It also requires heavy travel throughout California and heavy overtime.
My main question is: Do you guys think this is a good stepping stone into becoming a lineman later on?
I’m a military veteran, so I’m used to physically demanding work and structured environments. I’m mainly trying to figure out if the experience gained in telecom/tower work transfers well into the utility/lineman side of things long term.
Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
