In 1990\, he started working for Littleton Electric Light Department as an Apprentice Lineman\, completing NEPPA’s Line School in 1994. John worked his way up from Journeyman Lineman to Engineering Technician\, gaining skills on the more technical aspects of distribution such as substations\, scada and automated distribution. He oversaw the meter department\, planning for and installing Littleton Electric Light Department’s first AMR system and upgrading all metering to solid state. In the early 2000s\, he worked to upgrade their substation by replacing the oil filled breakers with air insulated as well as replacing all mechanical relays w/ solid state. In 2005\, John took on a supervisory role\, overseeing line crews for after-hours coverage. He has been involved with public power his whole life\, as his father was a lineman in Sterling\, MA in the 50’s before becoming the Manager in Paxton and then Littleton. NEPPA is happy to have his expertise as an instructor\, helping to expand NEPPA’s training program with this knowledge and experience. \n					\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				LODGING\nLodging is not included in your registration fees and must be arranged directly with the hotel.
