24 aerial line mechanics graduate from
intensive 12-week training
PECO welcomed 24 new aerial line mechanics to the company’s
field force today as they celebrated the completion of a 12-week
training program. Line school instructors and members of PECO
leadership joined the candidates and their families to congratulate
the company’s newest field employees on this significant
professional accomplishment. The new line workers will join the
utility’s front lines – ensuring safe and reliable electric service
for area customers.
PECO’s comprehensive aerial line school training program
develops the fundamental skills new aerial line mechanics need to
work safely on the company’s electric distribution system. More
than 1,500 people applied for this year’s program. The current 24
candidates were selected after a series of interviews and physical
assessments.
This year’s program was the first line school to be conducted at
the company’s new training building at the Plymouth Training
Complex located in Plymouth Meeting, PA. The new building includes
offices, classrooms and an indoor training facility.
PECO’s Methods and Training department develops the curriculum
for the line school program and seasoned aerial line mechanics
instruct and oversee the field work of the candidates. In addition
to field maintenance and repair skills, the program focuses on
electric distribution fundamentals, including electric theory,
circuit design, emergency response, safety and first-aid.
