Journeyman Jerry Fales joins Fast Forward

Fast Forward continues expansion nationwide as one of the most innovative powerline patrol methods in the industry, now adding more to the technical team with the addition of Journeyman Lineman Jerry Fales. In his previous role, Jerry was the Electric Commissioner for a Nebraska municipal organization.

 

"I have had the privilege to work in the electric utility industry for 29 years. As a lineman it has always been an exciting moment when you can restore power to a customer after an unplanned power outage. As my roles through the years have changed, the best feeling is having a quality electrical system that is safe for the customers and minimizes unplanned outages, said Jerry" 

 

As we are move to a 12 hour or less turn around time, the QC stage is imperative to the process, which Jerry will lead and add substantial value. 

 

"As one of our original customers and now an employee of Fast Forward, Jerry provides customer insight as well as lineman experience to maximize workflow accuracy and efficiency. It was obvious from day 1 that Jerry takes great pride in his work and has quickly proved his dedication to Fast Forward. Welcome to the team Jerry, we're lucky to have you," said VP of Operations Brett Schutte!

 

 

Jerry mentioned, "I was amazed when I first seen the images Fast Forward provided for the City of Cozad for our maintenance and reliability initiatives. Then we were hit with a disaster and the team was there in the morning to help us out which expedited our reimbursement process. I've seen first hand, this rapid entire system patrol prevents outages, increases safety, and productivity. Collaborating with Fast Forward gives me the opportunity to help provide system reliability throughout the entire electric grid, and most important...safety to the lineman that build and maintain the electric system." 

CEO Dusty Birge mentioned, "understanding the customers needs has been, and will remain a strength and focus of Fast Forward as we develop and deliver a remarkable product."
