The rush of adrenaline. Working rain or shine. Seeing the results of a job well done. For the people who keep Baltimore moving, from grid to gridiron, it all comes with the territory.
That includes Ravens Offensive Lineman, Roger Rosengarten, and the BGE employees who work on and behind the line. BGE is celebrating these hometown heroes and the dedication they bring to every challenge.
When it comes to keeping the line holding strong, it’s a team effort. You have to keep your head in the game.
“To get outages restored quickly, I like to keep morale high. A positive team culture is important.” – Russell McClain III, overhead crew leader, electric operations
Success also depends on preparation and the ability to adapt. BGE employees help keep the community moving by planning carefully, solving problems in real time and restoring service safely.
“When we’re presented with a challenge, we try to figure out how we can make it to the other side safely and get the job done.” – Bob Seifert, underground gas mechanic
Rain, snow, cold, and emergencies can complicate the work. When something doesn’t look right, crews stop, regroup, and find a safe way forward.
And just as the Ravens’ offensive line advances the ball one yard at a time, BGE’s teams move through each job piece by piece.
“It’s not one big job; it’s breaking it up into daily tasks so you know you can get the job done safely and effectively.” – Jonathan Kress, chief underground mechanic, gas construction
The work takes hands-on skill and technical expertise, plus the preparation to know what to do next.
“I have the expertise and know who to contact to get an outage restored quickly. It involves investigating the source of an outage to better understand the impact, researching related calls and relaying all that information to service operators and crews.” – Georgia Prentiss-Sloan, senior service dispatcher, electric operations
You can catch the campaign on BaltimoreRavens.com, the Ravens social channels, and on “The Lounge” podcast throughout the season.
