At UMS, keeping our people safe isn't just a priority. It's a commitment. And the team leading that charge every single day is our Safety department. Meet Josh Baldwin, Logan Heldenbrand, and Jeff Baranowski! πŸ‘‹

Josh Baldwin, our Executive Director of Safety, sets the vision for safety at UMS, driving the policies, programs, and culture that protect our workforce from the top down.

Together, they don't just enforce rules. They build a culture. One where every employee feels empowered to speak up, look out for one another, and go home safe at the end of the day.

From regulatory compliance to risk reduction to everyday wellbeing, Josh, Logan, and Jeff are the reason our team operates with confidence. We are incredibly grateful for the work they do. πŸ’š

✨ Employee Spotlight: Allen Kirk ✨

Since joining UMS in September 2025, Allen Kirk has brought serious credentials to the Lighting Division as the Electrical Qualifying Agent. Twenty-seven electrical contractor licenses and counting, with his sights already set on thirty.

It probably won't surprise you to learn that Allen applies that same all-in mentality to everyday life. When he buys a tool or pretty much anything else, he goes for the best available or he buys multiples of the same thing. Why settle when you don't have to? It's a philosophy that shows up in everything he does.

If he could have any superpower, Allen would keep it simple: the ability to fly. No explanation needed. Sometimes the best answer is the most direct one.

When it comes to travel, Allen has already been to Alaska, so he's got a head start on the bucket list. Next up: Hawaii and Australia. Two very different landscapes, both worth the trip, and Allen is the kind of person who will actually make both happen.

If he could sit down to dinner with anyone from history, he'd choose Ronnie Van Zant, the legendary frontman of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The topic of conversation? Fishing. We love everything about that answer.

The best advice Allen has ever received is one that stays with him: "Happiness is an inside job." It's a reminder that the things that matter most come from within, and it's clearly shaped the way he carries himself both personally and professionally.

For colleagues looking for a worthwhile read, Allen recommends Master Key to Riches by Napoleon Hill, a deep dive into the principles behind lasting success. His goal for the year is equally concrete: hit 30 electrical contractor licenses. He's at 27. The finish line is close.

Ask him what he loves most about UMS and the answer is immediate: the people. For someone with the credentials and options Allen has, that says a great deal about the kind of place UMS is.

Welcome to the spotlight, Allen. We're glad you're here. πŸ™Œ

Here's something we know after working with hundreds of utilities: the projects that go smoothly are the ones that planned ahead. πŸ“‹πŸ’§

UMS Pre-Deployment Services exist for exactly that reason. Before deployment begins, there are a lot of important decisions to make β€” about technology, design, procurement, systems integration, and organizational readiness. Getting those right sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Our team brings real in-field experience to the pre-deployment phase, covering everything from network and integration design to procurement strategy and business readiness planning. We make sure your utility is fully prepared to take advantage of your new AMI technology from day one.

On time. On budget. With the results you were counting on. πŸ™Œ
