Rappelling is Just Part of the Job
The young man sits down on the building’s highest ledge, swings his feet out into thin air, and starts to ease himself over. Slowly, methodically, he lowers himself until only his arms and head are visible over the lip of the skyscraper. Then, he starts walking. Backward.

The soles of his boots contact the glass and steel of this modern office building. Suspended by lines, a safety harness, and even more lines, the young man moves his feet back and begins to descend down the face of one of the tallest buildings in Dallas.

For Eddie Ramirez and James Padron, this is how work begins. Eddie and James are electricians at FSG and are trained and licensed in rappelling.

They walk backward down the sides of skyscrapers to install lights, run wire, perform repairs, and more. Working for FSG, with capabilities including lighting, electrical, technology, and signage, these two are never really sure what a new project might bring.

All they know is that they love what they do.

While many folks looking to get into electrical work must first put themselves through long months of training and study, Eddie was able to do it all on-the-job through FSG’s in-house Apprenticeship Program.

This program makes it possible for people like Eddie to keep working (and earning) while they learn an entirely new trade associated with our projects. As part of the program, one of FSG’s journeyman electricians–men and women who have received their own license–took Eddie under his wing and showed him the ropes. Literally.

For James and Eddie, working as rappellers at FSG is a chance to see and do things they never could have imagined. “I wanted to do something more than work at a warehouse,” says Eddie.

“Rappelling at FSG is my favorite thing to do at work,” James says simply. “I’ve definitely enjoyed working at FSG for the last sixteen years,” he grins.

Great pay, great benefits, opportunities to advance, and–perhaps most importantly–a fun and family-like working environment: those are the things that all FSG employees take from their careers. For James and Eddie, the unique nature of their works makes it all that much more special.

“I enjoy coming to work every day,” Eddie says, as he and James wrap up the day’s rappelling and replace all their lines and safety equipment. “I’m comfortable here, and I like the people I work with.”

Are you looking for a job that will take you out of the ordinary, that will give you the chance to do something unique every day? Do you want great compensation, but also a culture of safety, fun, and helpfulness? Does working on the highest buildings sound like the perfect challenge for you?

If you always thought being an electrician just meant tightening wire nuts, or connecting circuits, James and Eddie have a different perspective to offer. Their job–and, really, all positions at FSG–are hardly ever the same from one day to the next. Electricians at FSG work in the biggest cities, on the tallest structures, installing, repairing, and maintaining complex and exciting technologies.

Whether you’re an experienced journeyman, or someone looking to start something completely new, FSG has a path that’s right for you. Visit our Careers page today to learn how an electrical career can not only be exciting but change your life.
