At REC safety is our #1 priority!

In order to maintain a safe work environment, REC is committed to mandatory monthly safety meetings and annual training for our field personnel. We utilize best practices both in the office and the field. Trees are the No. 1 cause of power outages in the REC service territory. Tree maintenance is vital to ensuring reliable electric service to the homes and businesses that depend on electricity for their everyday needs. Keeping a focus on the environment as a priority, arborists and professional foresters work to prevent tree-related issues before they occur. 

Careers in safety at REC include:

  • Distribution Dispatchers
  • Foresters
  • Physical Security
  • Safety Coordinators
  • And more

 

Why choose a REC career?

  • Local, community-focused organization
  • Dynamic and exciting industry
  • Competitive wages and excellent benefits
  • Challenging roles where every day is different
