Program Overview
Become a Powerline Technician
This two-year Powerline Technician Ontario College Diploma program prepares you with the skills you need to succeed as a powerline technician in Ontario. Begin by learning electrical basics and move on to design, planning, construction and maintenance of distribution lines.
You will learn:
- How to use AutoCAD to design structures in 2D and 3D
- About electrical machinery and metering
- How to develop essential safety skills and knowledge
- About practice rigging
- How to design overhead and underground power installations
Starting in the second term, you begin spending one day per week at the Hydro Ottawa partner site located on Bank Street in Ottawa. There you learn climbing, rigging and other hands-on skills you can apply throughout your career.
To ensure the safety of all students, you must complete a Working at Heights training session before you begin training at Hydro Ottawa.
Students also have the option to gain real-world experience through a paid co-operative education (co-op) work term (see Additional Information for more details). Please note that places in the co-op version of the program are subject to availability.
Graduates of this program may be able to work as a powerline technician with electric power generation, and transmission and distribution companies, or pursue a career with electrical contractors and public utility commissions.
