Help us congratulate Cody Tackett on his promotion to journeyman lineman after successfully completing a four-year apprentice program through the Missouri Public Utility Alliance!
The program requires classroom, correspondence and hands-on training workshops with monthly and annual exams on electric curriculum, including overhead and underground systems; pole climbing, installing and mounting; conductors, transformers, substations and equipment operation. He was required to attend hands-on immersion skills training workshops including a week-long session for pole climbing, pole top rescue and bucket truck operation. The workshops included the fundamentals and experience necessary to qualify lineworkers in pole climbing as well as bucket truck essentials.
Having completed the program, Cody logged more than 7,200 hours of on-the-job training and is now a certified United States Department of Labor journeyman lineman.
As a journeyman lineman, Cody will be responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of overhead and underground electric distribution systems while ensuring safe and reliable service for Conway Corp customers.
“Cody has excelled throughout his apprenticeship,” Conway Corp Electric Distribution System Senior Foreman Scott Ussery said. “He is a smart and hard-working individual, and we’re proud to add him to our journeyman pool.”
Cody joined Conway Corp in 2018 as a groundman. He was promoted to apprentice lineman 1 in 2022, apprentice lineman 2 in 2023, apprentice lineman 3 in 2024 and apprentice lineman 4 in 2025.
Congrats, Cody!
