Day One on the Job | Building a Lifelong Career in the Trades

In This Episode

Bill Morgner’s first day at Midcoast Energy was in 1983—three weeks before his wedding—and it started with a hammer, a chisel, and three layers of brick. Hear how Mid-Coast Energy Systems grew from three employees with gear crammed into station wagons to a multi-discipline team with vans, licenses, and year-round projects.

From hard lessons in the field to building a life around real work, they get into the roots of Mid-Coast Energy Systems, the early days of plumbing and heating in Maine, and what it meant to learn by doing. They also dig into family legacy, the value of showing up, and whether college or old-school work ethic makes the bigger impact.
