Lineman Jobs in Denver

Denver runs on Xcel Energy's Colorado territory, and the work splits three ways: metro distribution, a heavy underground cable load through the urban core, and foothills storm response when wet snow loads the lines west of town. Average lineman pay here is about $89,727 a year, which sits above the middle of the national range in our salary-by-state guide. IBEW Local 111 dispatches outside line calls for the Denver area, and Xcel lineworker postings list a Class A CDL as a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
