Cam's Story
Cam lives in Sunbury with his wife and three kids, and has worked at Bluegum for the last 3 years.
"I was spending at least two hours a day driving and getting home at 6 pm.
Now I am home at 3 to 4 pm and can actually help with pick up and be there for my kids."
"I used to work alone every day. Now I work with great guys, and the office support makes jobs run smoother. We are held to a very high standard, and I love that.""I was nervous coming into solar and batteries with no experience, but Bluegum trained me properly, and we do this work the right way, high-quality installs based on what the customer needs & wants"
