NECA-IBEW Electricians member contractor VEC Inc. and its subsidiary Evets Oil and Gas Construction Services were featured in a Warren Tribune Chronicle story over the weekend for their explosive revenue and job growth.
According to the article, VEC – formerly Valley Electrical Consolidated – recently landed a post-drilling contract with BP America related to its Utica Shale oil and gas exploration activity in the area. Oil and gas work has helped fuel VEC’s employment growth since the early 2000s “from about 20 to about 115 this year, not including skilled trade workers numbering from 300 to more than 700 depending on the status of projects,” the article said.
