OPERATIONS MANAGER SALT LAKE CITY

As 2022 comes to a close in a few weeks, I’m left reflecting on the many things we have to be grateful for. Here are a few of the things Helix SLC has to be grateful for: • We’ve been very fortunate to build a team here with so many great and talented people. Remember, electrical work is what we do, but people will always be our business. • We’re fortunate to have so much support from Helix

Las Vegas, Estimating, Purchasing, Tools, Manpower,

Safety, HR, and especially Victor. We couldn’t do it without your help. • We have been able to establish great relationships with our trade partners and clients in a very short period of time. • Our electricians in the field are doing a great job. Here are two examples.

Red Lion, a downtown 13-story hotel conversion to studio apartments, is just finishing up now. The owner had a very aggressive schedule, especially with all the supply chain issues this year for all sub-contractors. Juan Guzman, Jon Calder, and the crew did an excellent job keeping up with the schedule and the extra work thrown at us towards the end of the project. Even with all the extra work and the challenges of renovating a 60+ year old building, we were still able to complete the project in the ten-month schedule.

Our other larger project with R&O Employee Housing in Park City,

Red Lion lit up with a personal touch Employee housing with Park City Ski Resort backdrop

has had its own challenges. The owner has accelerated the schedule on some of the buildings so that we can get heat on for the drywall and other finishes. Derek Ferguson and crew have worked late nights and weekends to meet all the new deadlines. Employee Housing is now moving forward at a rapid pace. Three of the seven buildings are complete and turned over to the owner. We’re down to our last four buildings which will be completed in the spring.

Both projects are great examples of what it means to work for Helix. We get things done and are a partner they can always depend on.

As Christmas nears, here is our wish list that we’ve sent to Santa Claus. • More Supers and Journeymen Electricians for James Fox • 30% Negotiated jobs for Nathan Sawyer • Clients that pay on time for David Alger • Projects to start on time for all of us • Lots of snow in the mountains for Lawrence Fuchs • An assistant for Mindy • Tony Peterson wants more tools and a larger warehouse • Massaging work chair for Porter • A heated blanket for Mikayla • Scout cookies for Kirt Svedin • And peace on earth

Let’s make our 2023 wishes come true this next year. Happy Holidays to everyone!
