The recruitment initiative includes the following roles:

• - Leadership and Management: Four seasoned leaders with a collective experience spanning over 100 years in energy, construction, and utilities.
• - Field Operations: Over 30% of the new recruits are groundmen, a starter role for aspiring line workers.
• - Specialized Roles: Approximately 20% of the new workforce comprises experienced technicians and operators with nearly 70 years of cumulative industry expertise.
• - Foremen: Three new crew leaders with an impressive 90+ years in utility operations.
• - Warehouse and Procurement: Three newly appointed specialists focused on enhancing material logistics and inventory management.

This recruitment effort is a vital part of BGC’s comprehensive strategy aimed at constructing a robust and resilient energy grid for New Providence. Alongside crucial infrastructure upgrades in both transmission and distribution systems, BGC is making significant investments in recruiting, training, and collaborating with local institutions to cultivate home-grown talent that will be essential in managing the area’s power grid.

Steven, the Manager of Human Resources, stated, "As a proud Bahamian with international experience, I’m excited to influence the future of Bahamas Grid Company. Our primary focus is on cultivating a culture that prioritizes professionalism and hard work, defining our operational ethos through safety, innovation, and growth."
