Lineman Jobs in Fort Worth

Fort Worth line work sits inside Oncor's North Texas distribution territory, where Metroplex buildout keeps overhead distribution and transmission crews busy between storm-restoration calls. Pay here averages $81,952 a year, running ahead of the Dallas side of the Metroplex and above the national median; check it against the power lineman salary by state guide before you commit. Texas is right-to-work, but IBEW Local 220 represents outside linemen across the Fort Worth area, so union work exists here in a way it does not in most Texas metros.

Union And Non-Union Paths

Signing the book at Local 220 puts you on outside line calls in the Fort Worth area; the contractors above hire direct, and Oncor hires straight into its own apprenticeship. Because Oncor is an investor-owned utility rather than a co-op, its process runs longer and screens harder than the contractor route. The IOU vs co-op vs municipal breakdown explains what changes.
