Five San Marcos Electric Utility (SMEU) Linemen recently completed a four-year certification program through the Northwest Lineman College, an online remote education course that requires undergoing 906 hours of training and passing 40 written tests.
Linemen who graduate from the course are intensively trained in safety procedures, rigging, hot line work, underground line pulling, line design and the many other aspects of electric line work.
Staff members David Gaona, Eddie Cunningham, Juan Gonzalez, Jorge Holguin and Thomas Medrano are the first group of trainees to graduate from the program. Their education will contribute to a higher standard of quality for SMEU utility customers.
