Charlie Manherz

Charlie Manherz began working for a utility contractor in 1989. He began his career in Tucson at an entry level position as a mechanics assistant, but really wanted to be in the field. In 1990 and 1991, he was given the opportunity to work on a cathodic protection crew. He assisted in the installation of deep well anode beds to protect steel pipelines throughout Southeastern Arizona. When that project came to an end, he began working with the pavement repair crew. After a few months, he was promoted to foreman where he worked in Ajo, Florence, Ehrenberg, Casa Grande, and several other areas of western, south eastern, and central Arizona.
