Chief Operating Officer, Electric, National Grid

At National Grid, we couldn’t connect our customers with the energy that powers their lives without a field force of thousands servicing our cities and towns across Massachusetts. These dedicated, highly trained individuals are first responders - deployed to restore power in dangerous conditions like winter nor’easters and summer storms. The work they do, often at night, on weekends and over holidays, keeps the lights on for our homes and businesses and helps deliver a stronger, smarter, cleaner electric network. Over the past year, more than a dozen significant weather events impacted our network, including a mid-December storm that knocked out power to almost 200,000 customers. Thanks to our field force of more than 1,400, power was back on within 48 hours to nearly every customer – a record-setting restoration effort recently recognized with an Emergency Recovery Award from the Edison Electric Institute. To all our lineworkers at National Grid and across the industry: Thank you for your service and sacrifice. As we begin hurricane season, we know the job won’t slow down. Your hard work is deeply appreciated by our company and our customers. We’re proud to have you on our team. #LineworkerAppreciationDay #ThankALineworker #UtilityHeroes #HurricaneSeasonReady

This is truly inspiring! The dedication and hard work of National Grid's field force are remarkable, especially in the face of challenging weather conditions. Their efforts to keep our communities powered and safe do not go unnoticed. Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition from the Edison Electric Institute! 👏 I would love to connect further and discuss potential opportunities. Can we schedule a 20-minute appointment?
