Another month in the books, and our teams covered a lot of ground.

New service lines taking shape. Crews working through fiber, transmission, and substation projects across multiple states. Conferences from North Carolina to Tennessee. A growing list of utility partners trusting us with the work that keeps their systems running.

Plenty happened this month that didn't make it into a post, but it's a good reminder of what it all adds up to: communities with power they can count on.

We're hiring a Staff Accountant to join that team!

Reporting to the Accounting Manager and working closely with the Controller and the broader accounting group, this role owns key pieces of the monthly close, general ledger accuracy and account reconciliations, with hands-on exposure to job cost and WIP accounting in a construction environment.

It's a strong seat for someone who wants to build real expertise in project accounting and grow alongside leaders who invest in developing their team.

Six months in, and Chase O'Neal is terminating transmission and distribution lines out in Fairhope, Alabama.

Chase found Gridco through his lineman school in Rockmart, Georgia, saw the apprenticeship posting on Facebook, made a phone call, and was working two days later.

When we asked why he works safe every day, he kept it simple.
"I'm working safe for my family and my fiancée. Safety is about watching over each other and watching yourself. Just as much as you watch the next person."

And on what makes Gridco different:
"The company truly cares about its employees and you can see that in the way they treat us. They've been very good to me personally and all the other stories I've heard from my coworkers. I just love working for a company that takes care of their people."

Glad you're here, Chase. Keep doing what you're doing.

Economic development is picking up across the Andalusia region, and the infrastructure has to be ready to meet it.

Our crews are on the ground supporting critical system upgrades and expanded infrastructure for the Utilities Board, built to handle the growth already headed their way, not just what the system needs right now.

This is the kind of work that doesn't always get a lot of attention, but it matters. The businesses moving in, the families putting down roots, the community growing into what it's becoming. None of that works without reliable infrastructure behind it.

When the work is done right, the community feels it for years. That's what our crews are out there building toward.

Last month, when severe weather hit hard across the Midwest and Northeast over the Fourth of July, our crews were already moving.

Storm response across multiple utility partners in the Midwest and Northeast. Getting on the ground fast, working alongside utility teams, and helping restore power for communities that needed it back.

Choosing to step up during a holiday weekend to make sure other families had their lights back on says a lot about the kind of people wearing this company's name.
We don't take that for granted, and we're proud of every crew member who answered the call.

We're excited to welcome Steven Hataway to Gridco as our new Principal Protection and Control Engineer!

Steven brings more than 34 years of electric utility experience, nearly all of it in Protection and Control. His career began in a university high voltage laboratory before he moved into the field, testing relays and troubleshooting equipment across distribution, transmission, and generation stations.

For 22 years, he led protective relay settings work, developing settings across every voltage class and mentoring the next generation of engineers. His last role focused on design, guiding projects from early planning through final engineering.

Steven's depth in relay settings and design adds another layer of technical judgment to our Engineering team as Gridco takes on more complex substation and transmission work. He is a licensed Professional Engineer and stays active with national standards and reliability organizations across the industry.

While no relation to our own Greg Hataway, we're thrilled to have another "Hataway" on the team. Welcome aboard, Steven!

Every distribution project starts with a number, and getting that number right takes someone who understands the work inside and out.

We're growing our estimating team and looking for a Distribution Estimator to build the pricing behind our overhead and underground distribution projects: new construction, distribution system upgrades, and storm hardening programs.

This is the role that sets the foundation before a single crew hits the field.

Line trucks, bucket trucks, trailers, specialized equipment. None of it gets a crew to the job if it's not running right.

We're hiring a Fleet Mechanic to keep our fleet ready to roll, day or night, storm or clear skies. This role covers everything from preventive maintenance to hydraulic systems and heavy duty repair on the vehicles our crews count on every day.

If you know diesel engines and utility equipment and you care about getting it right the first time, we want to talk.

"I wasn't just impressed with him, I was impressed with your company." That's what a customer in Big Spring, Texas wrote in to tell us.

Dylan Edwards is a foreman on our West Texas crew, leading pole change-out work for Oncor. On the job, he holds himself to a standard that goes past the scope of work on paper.

Before Dylan's crew touched anything, he came to the door, introduced himself, and asked if there was a better time for the family before work started. Every exchange got a "yes sir" or a "no sir." The customer had dealt with a different contractor before, one who never knocked and just cut the power with no warning. Dylan reminded him what the job looks like when it's done right.
He also took a few minutes to talk with the customer's kids while he was out there. Didn't have to. Did anyway. They haven't stopped talking about wanting to grow up to be linemen.

That's the culture we're building at Gridco. People who treat a job site like someone's front yard, because it is. That kind of character doesn't stay in one place. It shows up in the field, in the community, and in every family a crew leaves an impression on.

Dylan, thank you for showing up the way you do, even when no one's watching. We're glad we have you representing Gridco.

Last month, our crews wrapped up a 100-mile fiber infrastructure project in Macon, GA.

100 miles is a lot of ground covered, a lot of conditions worked through, and a lot of hours our linemen and foremen put in to get it done right. Aerial and underground work, coordinated across the full length of the project, built to the utility's standards from the first pole to the last connection.

This is the kind of project that doesn't get talked about enough. It's not flashy work, it's detailed, demanding, and it requires crews who take pride in every mile, not just the finish line.

The communities on the other end of that buildout will have a more reliable, resilient grid because of the people who showed up every day and did the work the right way.

That's what our fiber crews are built for. Proud of the team that got it done.
