Thomasville Lineman Values Family And Alabama Power

By Beth Thomas

Josh Weaver is a quiet, humble man. The 11-year Alabama Power veteran is part of the line crew that serves Thomasville in southwest Alabama. But Weaver makes his home an hour away in McIntosh, a town of about 300 where he grew up and intends to remain and raise his family.

“I love my work at Alabama Power,”  Weaver said. “I’ve wanted to do this kind of work for a long time.

I had always heard that Alabama Power was a good place to work and when I learned that there was an opening for a lineman, I applied right away,” he said.Some of the things Weaver likes best about being a lineman include working with his hands, the challenging nature of the work and the problem-solving that often accompanies making repairs and getting the lights on. He also likes the crew with whom he spends his days (and sometimes nights and weekends). He describes them as friends – trustworthy and family oriented, like he is. He also appreciates the emphasis on safety, stressing that he has worked other places where safety wasn’t a priority.
