Jasper County REMC Announces New Manager for High-Speed Internet Undertaking

Jasper County, Indiana – Last month, Jasper County REMC announced their high-speed internet division that is in the works. This division will provide faster and more reliable internet to their members that reside in rural areas without high connection speeds. Jasper County REMC has hired Seann Perry, to manage and oversee this division.

A Qualified Choice

Perry has over ten years of experience with telephone and high-speed internet utilities. He has extensive experience with construction and safety, which will be valuable in the building process of this division. Working alongside engineers, contractors, and the operations department; Perry will manage the SmartGrid Ring build. The SmartGrid Ring is an essential component to the electric side of the cooperative’s service and the high-speed internet division. Its completion will shorten power outages and create a safer power restoration process for our crews in the field.

Once the SmartGrid Ring is completed, Perry will manage its operations. His experience with data management, software, workflow, and customer service will aid him in the further development of our high-speed internet division.

“Access to high-speed internet is not a modern convenience, it is an absolute necessity. I’m excited to be part of an organization that recognizes the importance of serving the underserved and enhancing their quality of life through technology,” Perry commented.

Added Employment

As the project furthers over the next few years, Perry will be hiring additional employees who can help make the high-speed internet division a reality. CEO Bryan Washburn is confident that JCREMC made the right choice in hiring Seann Perry. “We are fortunate that, once again, we have found someone who can add value to our project and is willing to do a great job serving our members,” Washburn added.
