Professional Electrical Contractors of Ct, Inc.

Congratulations to our SPARK winners for January! Each month we are happy to read the nominations our associates make for each other. The teamwork at PEC has been outstanding and we are excited to witness it! Here is a snippet of why Zac was nominated for Reliability... "Zac is extremely reliable and is always available when no one else is and when schedules are constantly changing. A night job at a grocery store requires you to bend your schedule and sometimes work extra hours in order to make sure things are ready for when the store is open during the day. Zac was always the first to offer help in order to accomplish those goals. On top of that, Zac would always show up early and we could consistently rely on him to do certain tasks like unlocking gang boxes and prepping for the night before the majority of the crew even showed up."

Congratulations to our SPARK Award winners for December! As 2024 comes to a close, we had just under 300 total nominations for the year. Our associates were drawn to 2 categories specifically, Reliability and Teamwork, which encompasses what PEC is all about. We had our most successful month in September, with 36 total nominations! Since the start of our SPARK program three and a half years ago, associates have recognized each other 920 times. We greatly appreciate the culture the SPARK program brings to PEC. Looking forward to another great year in 2025! Here is a snippet of why Owen was nominated: "Owen is an 18 year old co-op apprentice. I’m super impressed with his maturity and willingness to listen and absorb everything he is told and taught. He asks questions because he legitimately wants to learn and improve. He is constantly looking to sign up for classes at the shop which shows me he wants to excel and be the best. He is one of the few in his class at his high school that is allowed to be on co-op and he is showing why he’s earned that. I look forward to seeing what he will become."

A few photos from our Holiday Party! Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate and enjoy some great company, food and raffles. We had a great turnout and even more holiday toy/dog toy donations than we were expecting! As always, we appreciate our associates for continuing to donate to communities in need year after year.

Some more features from our Apprentice Week celebrations! We had a Milwaukee Tool Demo and distributed our spotlight certificates. A full classroom means more students are walking out each night knowing more than they did the day before. Continuous Improvement!

Congrats to our November 2024 SPARK Award winners! It's great to see the relationships built between associates on and off the job sites, especially with PEC and NAR continuously nominating each other for awards. Here is a snippet of why Junior was nominated: “In the Service Department we are often doing things at the last minute, which requires getting material at the last minute. I had to go to the shop to pick up some tools and saw that Northeast Electrical was parked at the loading dock at 5:30 in the morning and I knew it had the material I needed on it. I went into the warehouse and saw Junior Felix just arriving for his shift at 6 o’clock. I told him there was material on the truck that I needed and he went right to work, trying to get it off the truck and broken down out of a pallet of other material. He could’ve asked me to wait till 6 o’clock when his shift started, but he saw that it would help me out. Teamwork. It was appreciated, it got me out the door faster and to the job where others were waiting for me.”

Congrats to our final winner of the week, Chris Eldridge! Chris is a valuable member of the PEC team; he is currently enrolled in our apprentice school and also attends our PEC University classes outside of both school and work in the field. His drive for learning and growing within the electrical field is admirable. Stay tuned next week for a recap of our #NAW activities! We are proud to be able to showcase a few of our apprentices that come from a strong group of the next up-and-coming electricians at PEC.

Congrats to our fourth winner of the week, Rashid! Rashid started with us in our Prefab department and quickly moved out to the field. He was recognized last year at a company event for being a rising star and received a tool kit. He is also frequently nominated for Spark awards and also nominates his peers. We are glad to see Rashid's successes and hope to see many more years of them!

Congrats to our third winner of the week, Max! Max has been with PEC for just over 3 years and has been a big help to us on some of our larger projects. A great learning environment! We look forward to seeing Max's continued success with PEC.

Congrats to our second winner of the week, Anthony! Anthony came to PEC as a co-op student, diving straight into one of our larger jobs. Upon graduation, he decided to join PEC full time and has grown exponentially since then. Anthony is a great addition to the PEC team; he is recognized often by peers during our Spark nominations and also nominates his peers.
