Billerica, MA Interstate Electrical Services Corp. held its annual Employee Appreciation Awards at its Operations Center in Tewksbury on June 26. During the ceremony, Interstate’s president, Jim Alibrandi, recognized the graduating class of electrical and assembler apprentices and saluted Interstate employees who’ve been with the company for 10 to 40(+) years. Alibrandi also thanked two long-term employees who will be retiring this year. “Your contributions to the advancement of the company have helped Interstate become the progressive company it is today,” said Alibrandi. “It’s a pleasure to give recognition to all of you here today and for your contribution, commitment, and talent.” 

Alibrandi reflected on the 2024 winning NBA Celtics. “I was inspired by the speeches following the finals win. Every Celtics player and coach interviewed praised the strong relationships they have with each other. They credited the win to outstanding teamwork and the appreciation of what each player brings to the table. At Interstate, we’ve succeeded because we are a strong team. We appreciate each other. We rely on each other. We hold each other up. Teamwork is the essence of our success, and we have a great appreciation for our amazing team.” 

The company also celebrated its 27 apprentice graduates during the ceremony. “We are incredibly proud to celebrate this graduating class of electrical and assembler apprentices,” said Luiza Mills, senior vice president, Interstate. “This diverse group brings a wealth of backgrounds and perspectives to the trade and to Interstate. Their dedication and hard work are a true testament to their passion for the electrical trade. They represent the future pioneers of our industry and we’re excited to see them build a brighter future for our communities.”

In closing, Alibrandi reminded everyone in attendance of Interstate’s strongest core value: Safety. “Safety is paramount in everything we do at Interstate,” said Alibrandi. “Every day, the number one goal is to go home the same way you arrived, healthy and safe.”
