Greetings from Uniontown, Pennsylvania
January 5th, 2009 | 
Author: Started a new job in Masontown, Pennsylvania today.
A little background information for those of you not associated with the IBEW, (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers).
I was able to secure this job because I am a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).
During these times of economic upheaval and uncertainty, I’m very grateful to be a member of the IBEW.
We are the people that help keep the power flowing to this great country of ours.
I picked up a call in Masontown, PA, IBEW Local 5 Belle Vernon’s Jurisdiction of the Pittsburgh area.
IBEW Local 5 provides Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas with the most highly trained and qualified electricians in the U.S.
I’m working at the Hatfield Powerhouse in Masontown, PA.
We are currently working for Chapman Electric on the wastewater clarification process of the scrubber project.
Casteel Electric has the the bulk of the scrubber project and have been working 5-10′s. They are still erecting steel and duct work on their side of the job. That would be the call to pick up in my opinion.

Hey Buddy, 01-09-09
Give me some more info about the job outlook there!

Dennis,
Nice to hear from you brother.
Hope that all is well with you.
Turns out we are getting laid off next week on a short call. We are working for Chapman and they only have the waste water process of the new scrubber project.
The contractor to pick up is Casteel. They have the scrubbers on the unit and a shutdown is coming up. I believe they are currently working 5-10′s with more OT to come.
Pittsburgh has five books. We are in Belle Vernon’s jurisdiction now. We also signed New Kensington. Keystone Powerhouse is working 6-10′s not sure of the contractor at this time.
Definitely worth signing the books down here. It’s also a nice area and the locals are pretty friendly.
Best of luck to you brother.
