No! Looks terrifying. Respect to those that do.

[@miso-ge1gz]

I climbed a live one for fun this would be a great job to do, but i would never dare go that close to the cables if the cables were on

[@billybodgit6281]

No money in the world would get me doing that lol..

[@nationalgriduk]

I agree! I'll stay on the social media channels I think!

How do I apply for this. My dream job

[@nationalgriduk]

Hi Jason, please take a look at careers.nationalgrid.com/professionals/electricity-transmission to find out more about the roles within that part of our business or visit: careers.nationalgrid.com/search?k=electricity+transmission for a list of jobs that we currently have available, for example Substation Engineers etc.

My dream job ❤❤, Is this under the overhead linesman or craftsperson role?!!

[@nationalgriduk]

Glad to hear you’re interested! This task would fall under the Overhead Lines Engineer role 😊

You must construct additional pylons

[@bakersmileyface]

That looks like fun.

[@Imakeelectronicchaos]

I like pylons and I like the look of them and look at them all the time I love them but this job looks terrifying in my opinion

[@tobortwo3697]

Do they have to shut it off every time they check, even if they don't touch the cables?

[@alexlitchman8882]

Most likely because electricity can jump gaps

[@miso-ge1gz]

I actually think this one is on. These are important electricity arteries, shutting it off would cause serious fluctuations. Notice that the cable of the "cable car" he is in at the end has insulators. If you approach the wires without any grounding, you CAN go close to them and even touch them since there is no voltage difference.

[@mk-os8gl]

Dah wun

[@MandeepGadgetBoy]

Are they safe to climb? What about the electrical current

[@Jackary1232]

Youd turn them off and then lock out tag out

[@joespencer9442]

Isolated on the sides you work on
