Personnel
An important cornerstone of PICTON POWER LINES success is its ability to effectively manage and control projects. The company achieves this by having highly competent operations / project managers, supported by highly experienced and multi-skilled, self directed work crews in the field.
Our commitment to safety, training and personal development in the workplace is evidenced by our apprenticeship training scheme, by the low turnover of staff and by the long term employment (some approaching 25 years) of many key staff. The retaining of these skills, experience and quality of workmanship is enjoyed by the company and customers alike.
