Raul Montalvo Jr., Foreman (Savannah, GA)
Raul Montalvo Jr. followed in the footsteps of his father Raul Montalvo Sr. Starting as a laborer under his dad’s crew, Raul quickly rose to an operator role, learning the job’s ins and outs. Now a foreman, Raul continues to embody the values and dedication instilled in him by his father. The Montalvo family exemplifies the core values that define SEC, demonstrating that with dedication, anything is possible.
Robert Ojeda, Foreman (Conyers, GA)
Following his father’s advice to start a career in the natural gas industry, Roberto joined SEC six years ago as a laborer. From that entry-level position, his passion for the job and ability to learn quickly led him to advance to become a foreman.
Anissa Juliana, Leadman/Operator (Wilmington, NC)
After graduating from her Gas Technician Program, Anissa’s chance meeting with Area Manager Michael Dempsey led her to take a leap of faith and move across the country to start a career with SEC. Today, she continues to grow and take on new opportunities.
Claudia Ruiz, Human Resources Business Partner (Greensboro, NC)
Claudia shows us that with dedication and determination, anything is possible. Growing up working in her family’s business and seeing her parents struggle with a language barrier, she honed her translation skills and cultural awareness as a young girl and today leverages those skills working for SEC.
