Careers in Energy Week | More than a job. A way to serve your community.

Keeping the lights on takes a team of people with different skills, training and talents. And at an electric cooperative like ours, that work comes back to one thing: serving our members and the communities we call home.

From line technicians and engineers to member services, communications, accounting and more, there are many ways to build a career in the energy industry.

We also believe introducing students to these opportunities is an important part of preparing for the future. Through school career days and our annual High School Line Academy, we give students a closer look at the careers available in the electric utility industry. The Line Academy offers students interested in becoming line technicians a chance to experience some of the work firsthand and learn what a day in the field can look like.

The next generation of energy professionals may be sitting in a classroom today. We’re proud to help them discover what’s possible. ⚡

Last week we had the opportunity to be part of a Touch a Truck event at Hobgood Charter School. Events like this are a great way to connect with our community, give kids a chance to see the work we do up close, and create a little excitement in their day. Our Line Technician Tyler Perkins enjoyed answering questions, showing off the truck and equipment, and helping make the experience a special one for the students. We’re always glad for opportunities like this to get out in the community and share what we do!

Employee Spotlight: Amanda Smith

This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Amanda Smith, our Administrative Assistant, who has been part of the Edgecombe-Martin County EMC family for the past year!

When asked what she likes most about her job, Amanda said she enjoys knowing that we are member-owned and that our members truly come first. She takes pride in serving our members and coworkers and knowing that the work she does can make a difference. She also enjoys that no two days are the same, giving her opportunities to learn, grow and help wherever she’s needed.

Outside of work, Amanda enjoys spending time with her family, making memories at the beach and giving back to her community as a soccer coach.

Thank you, Amanda, for all you do for our members, our employees and our co-op! We’re glad to have you as part of the EMC family! 💚

⚡🌾 Safety education doesn’t stop at the power lines. It starts with the people in our community.

This morning we had the opportunity to take our High Voltage Safety Demonstration directly to a local farm and spend time talking with farm employees about working safely around electricity.

Agriculture involves a lot of equipment, machinery, elevated loads and work happening around electrical lines. Sometimes, simply knowing what to look for and understanding the risks can make a life-changing difference.

That’s why we believe in taking safety education beyond our office and into the communities we serve.

Our high-voltage demonstration gives people an opportunity to see firsthand what can happen when equipment or a person comes too close to an energized line — and why keeping a safe distance, knowing where power lines are located and stopping when you're unsure are so important.

But community education isn't just about one demonstration or one safety topic. It's about building relationships, having conversations and making sure the people we serve have the knowledge they need to stay safe — whether they're on a farm, at home, at work or anywhere around electricity.

💚 We are incredibly thankful for the relationships we have throughout the communities we serve. Those relationships give us opportunities to show up, share what we know and work together to make our communities safer.

Because serving our members means more than keeping the lights on. It means looking out for the people behind those meters.

⚡ Know where the power lines are.
🌾 Work safely around electricity.
💚 Look out for one another.
