Raelynn Hawco is a ticketed Journeyman Lady Lineman from a small town in the northeast corner of Canada. She is living proof that you don’t have to be a big, burly 6’4” dude to work in this trade. 

One of the most amazing things about this trade is how diverse the work is. You can literally be working somewhere one minute and somewhere completely different the next. An entire career could be spent in one district doing distribution work, or you can move around building big transmission lines, specialize in underground cable, energized barehand work, substations, or take any avenue from there. There is a place for anyone and everyone in this trade.  

Raelynn has pushed through some big obstacles to get where she is today, and she has now become an advocate for other women in the trades. She is a pioneer and a leader with a long career ahead of her doing the work that she loves.

His line crew was down on morale, and the East Coast Lineman Instagram page was born. The videos originally started as a way to cheer up the crew and pull them out of their funk.

They have now gone viral, and so has his page. East Coast is a major contributor to the brothers keeper movement and the creator of Bobby the line grunt. He uses his gift of comedy and love of linework to push a message of positivity and safety to our trade. The East Coast Lineman’s goal is to bring a little humor to what is a very serious and dangerous job.  “When I make a video, the goal is that if someone watches and gets a laugh from it, they pass it along and keep the laughter spreading.  Linemen do serious work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun as well.”

Go to whatever app you listen to podcasts on and check out episode 011 of @powerlinepodcast with special guest @east_coast_lineman 

We talk about safety in the trade, switching careers, and of course the creation of Bobby and the East Coast Instagram page.
