National Lineman Appreciation Day

On April 18th we honor the hard work, innovation, grit and dedication of electrical line workers.
They are a brotherhood and a family. Essential to the work we do, they are always appreciated!

Irby Family of Linemen

Linemen are the heart of our industry, and the reason for Irby’s success.

We appreciate the sacrifices our linemen make and their dedication to getting the job done safely.

Irby’s Linemen are the core of the Irby family. In many cases, they really are family-cousins or brothers. If not bound by name, they are bound by the brotherhood of their work and their mission to keep each other safe. They begin each morning with a commitment to go home safe each night. Nonetheless, the job is a tall order and it  is hazardous. So we must not only appreciate the linemen themselves but also their families for supporting them in their work at Irby.

 

 

Storm RESTORATION

Linemen are never more appreciated than when they restore the normalcy of power following a major storm. 

This past year held another incredibly active storm season. Irby crews worked a number of winter storms and two named Hurricanes, in 12 states, for 12 customers, with over 210,153 total man-hours.

Our linemen’s dedication ensured that impacted communities were able to turn their lights back on.

My son is 19 years old and just graduated in March from Northwest Lineman College in California. When we toured the college he knew without a doubt that this was the line of work he was made to do. With a lot of hard work, he graduated at the top of his class and hopes to start an apprenticeship as soon as possible. I have so much excitement for his future as I learn more and more about this industry. What a joy to explore your website this morning and realize its National Lineman Apprecaiton Day!
