I worked through an IBEW apprenticeship in the mid 70's doing commercial, multifamily, and some industrial. For a few years after I topped out, I ran the service truck. Then started running commercial, institutional (prisons), and smaller industrial jobs. For the last 12 years or so, I've only worked on industrial projects. This current assignment is an industrial plant that makes plastics and I am the outside contractor's supervisor. We are on the plant site every day and average about 10,000 man-hours per year at this site. I've been here full time for almost 7 years, and my very first day in the trade was at this same site. The guy who was my first supervisor retired in 95 and I took his place. I enjoy it here as we work on everything from the 4.16kV distribution to the fiber and Cat-5 communications systems. I also teach grounding and code changes for the Local JATC.
