FZer Spotlight: Jimmy Martin
"I appreciate FZ's benefits - good pay, good health insurance, good perks. I also really enjoy the work I get to do. I get to work on a broad spectrum of all types of electrical work and am not pigeon-holed into one type of thing. We have a saying in the field that we get to work on everything from "millivolts to lightning bolts." I love the variety and feel like I'm never bored."
FZer Spotlight: Bryan Perkins
"The electrical trades provide a place where you can actually build something with your hands. Not just copy and paste, but truly take the time to understand how something works, think for yourself, and create. Working with a team to design and build something that lasts is huge. The sense of accomplishment it provides is huge."
FZer Spotlight: Corey McCann
"I liked my time in Construction and feel like it exposed me to a variety of situations and skillsets. I also loved that after working on a facility, I could look at the finished product and feel ownership over my role. ...It set a strong foundation for what I do now."
