Started with Manitoba Hydro In 1988 as a laborer/ truck driver for six months until an opportunity arose to become an apprentice power cableman. Worked in this field specializing in installing and maintaining PILC, XLPE high voltage cables and equipment from 4KV to 69KV oil filled cable. 22 years later I joined distribution engineering where I was responsible for designing electrical distribution drawings in commercial, URD, and condo projects. My last position was a Technical Assistant IV in Distribution Standards in the Underground section
