Entergy Mississippi Adds 13 Linemen to its Ranks
05/02/2016
As a large number of employees are or will soon become eligible for retirement, it is important to bring in new blood and train them in the “Entergy Way.” Craft employees are especially important, because they physically keep the lights on for our customers.
Luckily, the trainers at the KAST Center in Clinton, Mississippi, help prepare some of Entergy’s future. Entergy Mississippi has 13 new linemen out in the field, and Entergy Louisiana has added one to its ranks, thanks to the most recent Lineman’s Boot Camp graduation.
The 2016 graduates are:
- Michael Shane Arnold
- Barry Lloyd Blackwell
- Darren Thomas Cox
- Brett Wayne Craig
- Nathan Allen Enriquez
- Craig Gilbert
- Joshua Ross Jones, Sr.
- Jamarcus Keathen
- Kutter Lambert McLaughlin
- James Kenny Thompson, Jr.
- Marlin Turner
- James Zachary White
- James Nicholas Wooten
- Nathaniel Young, Jr.
“We're very confident about the group we've hired,” said Robbin Jeter, Entergy Mississippi vice president of customer service. “Many of the trainees have previous lineman experience, and we have a couple who are legacy linemen, growing up knowing the importance of the job.”
“Working at Entergy is a dream job,” said Brett Craig, lineman trainee. “I want to thank Entergy for giving me this opportunity.”
