PROGRAM WORK SERVICES
WHAT IS PROGRAM WORK?
Program work refers to the routine, planned projects utilities perform to keep their systems running, such as pole replacements, line upgrades, and conductor maintenance. These jobs are essential but often small in scale, requiring quick mobilization and dependable site access so crews can complete them efficiently without unnecessary delays.
