New staking engineer joins REC team

Dan Trevithick has joined the SLVREC/Ciello team as Staking Engineer. He comes to us from High West Energy (HWE) in Pine Bluffs, Wyo. where ironically Boyd Wagner, former REC staking engineer just relocated to.
Dan has spent many years in the industry, as estimator/project manager for contractors and as staking engineer/project manager for electric cooperatives. 
As staking engineer, Dan is responsible for designing lines and services, preparing construction cost estimates, producing staking sheets, meeting with members and more. He commented “sometimes it’s challenging to manage a lot of moving parts with the time you have, especially in the busy construction season.”
Dan explained that he worked with Boyd for a short time at HWE. “We were all surprised that he asked for the time off to [come] interview. In contrast, when I interviewed here, I kept things very quiet. [It’s] two very different cultures… this impressed me.” He is also enjoying meeting new people of all types here in the Valley 
Dan and his wife Karla spend a lot of time with their mules (and horses). They like being in the mountains with them. Dan also enjoys snowmobiling but is looking forward to living in less snow. Welcome to the Valley, Dan! We’re happy you’re here!
