Standard Utility Construction

Majority of work is street light maintenance and underground electrical services to houses. It's a job, that it. But if your coming to learn overhead electric, don't. They have no idea what they're doing and the main supervisor over the distribution line crew has 0 experience in distribution. Also you will *never* get a drop of overtime. 

Also, if you get in an accident of any type, it is 100% *your* fault. The reports are worded such that you will be at fault. If you got hit by a random bullet or a dog attacks you out of the blue, doesn't matter, you did *something* wrong. Most common was other people hitting the trucks. Even though it was clearly the other drivers fault, the employee is blamed.

Standard has all the wrong people in the wrong places mangers have no field experience and only promote close friends to supervisor positions raises are hard to get standard does not go on storm work benefits are mediocre at best standard has no desire to expand the company does work for a handful of entities at most their Christmas and Thanksgiving  bonuses are a joke no quarterly bonuses for production and show no effort to try to  keep top hands only laborers

Require new UG install services in a day you should at least complete 5 jobs a day if applicable. 
Trenching laying conduit and pulling wire 
Check locates, set meters, check voltage, wear proper PPE. 
Hardest part of the job is the heat outdoors 
Most enjoyable is this company actually cares for there employees you're not just a number. 


Large company with many avenues to choose from or ascend to. A good place to start if being a lineman is your destination. They are non union which sucks but still a good place over all. You will meet the owners and interact with them at some point which is almost unheard of in large construction companies and they are good and fair people. 

There is no structure, you constantly switch trucks, they don’t abide by the 16 hours on / 8 hours off rule. On call rotations mean you’re stuck doing the work alone unless you have friends willing to help. They expect too much out of single employees, when they could easily double up experienced coworkers to relieve stress. 

standard utility in a great place to work with great carrier opportunities with many different departments and great co workers, management is there to help and the owners are the most down to earth caring people in the world. highly recommended!

The Company Culture Thrives and is Infectious. The employees are warm and down-to-earth. They are display an immense amount of empathy and are very family oriented. Awesome work if you can get it!

Great Company great owners and great employees. Every one helps out when the work gets busy. Hard work but if you like over time it's a good job. I didn't like working in harsh rainy weather but I got the job done.

As a laborer u work all day every day 
If u have a family don’t do it or a life 
Basically when I got hired they told me you will work some OT not 7:30am till 10pm plus on weekends 
Everyone I spoke to on the yard are looking for employment somewhere else .

Brotha if you’re reading this, this is your sign don’t come work here. Horrible management,  dead end job. No support from management, horrible trucks,the company is so cheap,if your truck gets broken into and tools get stolen you will be held responsible. One of the most worst companies to work for.
