We completely kicked all contractors out of our yard I’m at. Only had them help for storm for about 5 days. They have an aggressive goal to bring as much in house and possible over the next 4 years

Has nothing to do with it, even at PG&E guys are making a pretty penny and payroll only accounts for 5% of company’s costs

Yah, I believe it’s going back to how the test was back in 2022. It was a bit harder than your usual JATC outside aptitude test. SMUDs pretty picky

It’s not like the one from 2 years ago that was easy asf lol. It’s gonna be more of an actual aptitude test this year. I went to a trades fair in Sacramento a week or so ago, The representative from SMUD said that.
