Two MVI employees have recently achieved recognition by the West Virginia State Fire Marshall as Journeyman Electricians. By passing the examination, Keith Kincaid and Brian Shelosky will be able to perform qualified electrical work in many of the facilities that MVI currently services (Brian has already passed the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s electrical exam, certifying him to work on Mine Property as well).

Keith Kincaid runs MVI’s panel shop, and was hired not long after the company’s inception. He continues to increase his knowledge and skill in order to run his portion of the facility more safely and effectively.
Brian Shelosky has been employed with MVI for 5 years. Brian has become a valuable member of the maintenance department. He also continues to improve his skills in the areas of fiber optic installation and testing.
MVI is constantly encouraging and assisting its employees to increase their levels of training and certifications. This greatly benefits customers by having only trained and qualified workers on your property.
Congratulations Keith and Brian!

Two MVI employees have recently achieved recognition by the West Virginia Department of Miner’s Health Safety and Training (WVMHST) as Certified Electrician for Low, Medium, and High Voltage circuits. By passing the West Virginia examination, they will automatically receive recognition by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) as a “Qualified Person” for Surface and Underground electrical installations. The two newly qualified individuals are Tristan Rosier and Brian Shelosky.

Tristan Rosier has been employed by MVI for 4 years. He has quickly increased his skill set to where he is now performing project engineering and PLC programming and HMI work.

Brian Shelosky has been employed for 3 years. Brian has become a valuable worker in our panel shop and out in the field. Recently, Brian also recently completed advanced fiber optic training, and routinely performs fiber optic installation and testing.

With the two new mine certified electricians, MVI can now deploy 14 MSHA and 12 West Virginia electricians. In addition, MVI has 14 West Virginia State Fire Marshall certified electricians – four of which are Master Electricians.

Congratulations Tristan and Brian!

In a continuing effort to assist our employees with education and training, Mon Valley Integration would like to congratulate Brian Shelosky on completing a week long Fiber Optics training course in Virginia Beach with the Electronics Technicians Association (ETA). The course consisted of hands on labs and bookwork. The labs had students splicing fiber mechanically, placing various styles of connectors onto strands of multi and single mode fiber, splcing fiber by machine, using a fusion splicer, and testing all of their connections with various scopes and equipment, including an Optical Time Delay Refractometer (OTDR). Bookwork led students through the history of fiber optic connections, illustrating how the industry came to be and where its headed. Brian now joins several of our other employees as an ETA Certified Fiber Optics Technician/Installer. Find out what our fiber optics installation department can do for you here.
