Who We Are
LineTech Services was built by Lee Jeffrey and Iain Thomson — two engineers with decades on Scotland's OHL network. One principle drives everything: directly-employed crews, owned plant, and no shortcuts.
Based in Forfar, we deliver for Tier-1 contractors and network operators across Scotland. Every operative holds an ECS card. Every job gets a SMART Start brief. Every pole gets a signed-off data return.

Keeping 1.2 million homes powered. Conductor replacement, vegetation management, transformer servicing.
Storm damage, structural failure, emergency pole replacement. Mobilised within hours, anywhere in Scotland.
