What is a cable puller?
What does a cable puller do?
A cable puller handles responsibilities related to pushing and pulling cables for electrical power systems through floors, walls, and ductwork. Their duties are to measure, cut, join, and install wires, panels, and junction boxes. They also set up, clean areas, and assist with supplying materials and equipment necessary to complete the job. After installation, they test the electrical systems to ensure power is running correctly. A cable puller works in the construction industry, providing on-site support.
