Puget Sound Energy and development partner Trammell Crow Company, a global real estate development firm, are beginning construction on a new training facility designed to enhance hands-on training for PSE field personnel, first responders, engineers and project management staff.
Once completed, electric and gas utility employees and emergency responders will receive high-quality training in a central location under controlled conditions and with a variety of conditions. The training facility will include classrooms, laboratories and outdoor training areas with a simulated neighborhood to provide employees with realistic training experiences, such as how to safely repair broken gas lines, approach downed power lines or replace utility poles.
“This state-of-the-art training center demonstrates PSE’s commitment to a highly skilled workforce and a culture of safety for PSE employees and our many partners,” said Ron Roberts, PSE’s senior vice president of energy resources.
Both professional and commercial personnel will be trained in the management of legacy and new systems that support safe and reliable energy supplies, with a focus on expanding skills to operate modern technologies and infrastructure driven by grid modernization and the transition to clean energy.
“We are proud to partner with Puget Sound Energy on this significant project that will support the company’s growth for years to come,” said Mike Nelson, market leader for Trammel Crow Company’s Seattle office. “Our team looks forward to bringing this innovative training facility to life and enrolling its first students in 2025.”
