Josue Aviles has always been fascinated with learning more about how things work. Here at PPL, he brings that passion and curiosity to his role as a substation engineer. “My team works on the design of the substations, making sure our equipment is up to code, and providing input on retirement and replacement of equipment to ensure reliability,” said Aviles. “Each day when I come to work, there’s always an opportunity to learn more about different areas of the company and how our teams work together to accomplish our goals.” While Josue takes great pride in the amazing work that his team does, he also sees a connection to the customers we serve. “It’s important to learn about what is impacting our communities so we can be part of the solution and improve their lives.”
