The Basics
How long have you been at City Light? 28 years
Division: Transmission & Distribution
Tell us about your role. What does your job entail? My work as a civil crew chief involves supervising and leading a crew in the installation and maintenance of underground distribution systems. This also includes coordinating the construction and installation of large transformer vaults, manholes and duct banks, all of which provide greater reliability and service of our electrical power to customers. My work allows me to work side by side with our electrical crews in restoring lost power to the customer, which when restored always brings a great feeling, not just to the customer but to the workers as well.
