Our Mission & Approach

Helping utilities and linemen learn from the past to build a better future.

Many utilities are finding it increasingly difficult to find and retain quality linemen in a competitive industry. In my 24+ years in the industry, I’ve experienced both sides of the spectrum. I’ve seen that a one-size-fits all mentality is not the solution…

Utilities and Linemen need custom solutions for each of their unique needs, desires, and values. By assessing your utilities needs, abilities and constraints, I will provide a plan of action that can work with what your utility has and build a plan that fits your budget and needs.

Together, we can help your utility find the right candidates who fit your needs, desires, and values, while looking for areas in your training or processes that can improve and challenge your linemen to keep them confident in their job.

We will assess your tools, equipment, and operating systems, to see if there are better ways to utilize them or if there are better products out there to suit your utilities and linemen’s needs.

By working with your utility’s needs, desires & values, we can work on a plan together that will benefit the future of your utility, your customers, and the future of your linemen. –Jason Schraufnagel
