• Dig holes for power poles, using power augers or shovels, set poles in place with cranes, and hoist poles upright, using winches.
• Dig trenches for underground wires and cables.
• Explain cable service to subscribers after installation, and collect any installation fees that are due.
• Fill and tamp holes, using cement, earth, and tamping devices.
• Inspect and test lines and cables, recording and analyzing test results, to assess transmission characteristics and locate faults and malfunctions.
• Install equipment such as amplifiers and repeaters in order to maintain the strength of communications transmissions.
• Lay underground cable directly in trenches, or string it through conduits running through trenches.
• Measure signal strength at utility poles, using electronic test equipment.
• Participate in the construction and removal of telecommunication towers and associated support structures.
• Place insulation over conductors, and seal splices with moisture-proof covering.
• Pull up cable by hand from large reels mounted on trucks; then pull lines through ducts by hand or with winches.
