Safety, Compliance, & Training Coordinator
Job Type: Full Time
Job Location: 750 International Drive, Franklin, IN, 46131
Employer: JCREMC
About Us:
The founding fathers of the electric cooperative movement had strong ties to Indiana. One of the first electric cooperatives to serve a rural area in America is located right here in our state. In the 1930s, investor-owned utilities were not interested in serving rural areas, feeling it would not be profitable. But the leaders of the agricultural communities of rural America knew that electricity was vital to the progress of our country, and with federal funding available through the newly created Rural Electrification Administration (REA), cooperatives began springing up across America.
Founded in 1935, JCREMC began operations with 1,129 members. Today we serve over 21,000 members with over 1,650 miles of distribution line.
From our founding in 1935 until today, our mission has remained the same. In all areas of our operations, JCREMC is committed to safely and efficiently providing reliable electric services for our community.
Our values include safety, integrity, efficiency, community-oriented, consumer-focused, innovation, and transparency.
