Doing linework is an art. Stocking material on the truck, operating equipment, house keeping, working in confined spaces and awkward positions, working with energized lines overhead and underground, troubleshooting and much more. There is zero percent chance that automation will compete with skills of line workers while keeping the lights on and the public safe.

Abilities and fitness needed from an individual. Additionally this work is standardize and so are h the repair procedures.
