Pay & Compensation

Public pay data for this employer is limited and self-reported. For MasTec Utility Services line roles, self-reported estimates on Indeed put lineperson pay at roughly $32 per hour as of 2026, drawn from a small number of postings, so treat it as a rough marker rather than a scale. Because MasTec Power Delivery runs both union and non-union crews, actual rates vary by operating company, region, and whether a job falls under a published IBEW local scale.

For grounded numbers, compare the journeyman lineman pay scale (union vs non-union), check rates in your state with the salary-by-state guide, and see what restoration work pays in the storm pay guide. On traveling jobs, per diem is typically offered; the traveling lineman per diem guide covers how that usually works.
