MONTANA GOT LIT UP
July 19, 2025 Montana Lineman Rodeo
Another weekend of getting the job done.
Our Sturgeon Electric California / IBEW Local 47 team rolled into Montana and absolutely crushed it:
🏆 1st Place – Contractor's Division
🏆 1st Place – Overall Team
THE WORK SPEAKS
This wasn't just another day at the office. Crews from coast to coast came ready to showcase the expertise that most people never see. While others were taking it easy, these professionals were out there proving why the trades deserve the respect they've earned. This is what real work looks like.
Crews from all over came to Montana. Our guys did what they always do - focused on the work.
Clean climbs, proper technique, steady hands. Every move deliberate, every step calculated. This isn't about speed or showing off - it's about doing it right.
Every journeyman watching understood what they were seeing. Real craftsmen who know that one mistake up there changes everything. The kind of precision that only comes from years of perfecting your craft.
Sturgeon Electric California / IBEW Local 47 brings decades of high voltage experience, solid training, and standards that keep people alive. Every connection made right. Every safety protocol followed. Because at the end of the day, everyone goes home.
FINAL SCORES
Won the Contractors Division and took the Overall. Good showing from all the crews that came out.
Judges scored the events based on technique and safety. Montana got to see some quality linework from everyone. Every crew brought solid skills. Our guys executed when it counted.
