GHEC would like to recognize Kris Anderson for his commitment to our company and his skill in the electrical trade. Kris joined our company not long after high school and within two years has become a residential journeyman who enjoys the freedom of being a service lead electrician while working towards his commercial journeyman license.

While college was a post-high school option, Kris was geared toward a mechanical lifestyle in his personal life by solving problems through research and trial and error. He chose to pursue a trade which allowed him to enter the workforce immediately. “Apprenticeship puts money in my pocket while furthering my education,” said Kris.

The day-to-day challenge of troubleshooting issues and the constant change in environment are two of the things Kris likes best about being a service electrician. Being able to manage different situations safely, professionally, and quickly, makes Kris a valued employee. In Kris’ words “Opportunity should be inspected from all angles. There is a trade path out there for everyone. Apprenticeship programs hold a large opportunity for expedited personal and career growth.”

GHEC is always looking for new and seasoned talent like Kris to join our thriving company. Click here to apply online. GHEC is an equal opportunity employer.
