OWNER'S BOX
— Evan Rivera
general foreman, utility
Pedernales Electric Coop
Johnson City, Texas
"I previously worked at another tree care company. Working at
Davey is very different – and way better. Here, you have a much
better chance of improving and growing. I've been at Davey a
little more than a year, and I've already learned so much. Safety's
a big part of that. Safety is all about preparing yourself for what
could happen and then doing your best to prevent it. Every day
you wake up, even though you're doing something similar, you
can't get too comfortable. That's when accidents occur. Reviewing
safety hazards and protocols each morning helps keep everyone
mindful and safe."
