OPERATIONS MANAGER SALT LAKE CITY

We’ve moved! Our new office space was completed a couple of months ago and we couldn’t be more excited to be here. If any of you happen to be in Salt Lake City, feel free to stop in and say Hi to everyone.

The Helix Picnic is scheduled for August 13. This will be our first one with all employees and families. We’re looking forward to finally getting to meet everyone.

We won our first award up here. We won the ABC Excellence in Construction Award for the Pendry Hotel. Hopefully this will be the first of many to come.

Some of our projects now are finally taking off. We have piers and footings being poured on our 7-story downtown parking structure, and two of our larger apartment projects, Current and ATRE. I think it’s easy to take for granted the pace at which Las Vegas construction operates. It’s not like that everywhere.

A view into the new Salt Lake City office

We’ve recently picked up a large utility project for Big-D. The Utah Transit Authority’s new depot needed a whole new loop and feed from Rocky Mountain Power. This will be our first project with Big-D who is the parent company of Martin-Harris.

A quick story about connections. I received a call from Grand Canyon Development in Las Vegas. They happened to be managing a new project up here in Salt Lake City. They asked me for references of General Contractors who could do some renovation work at two of the ABC Excellence Awards convention centers up here. I gave them three different contractors. One happens to be my wife’s cousin and he actually won the job. We’re halfway through the job now and even though it’s a difficult remodel, things are going really well. The point here is, because we’ve developed a good relationship with Grand Canyon in Las Vegas, it translated into us getting a project in Salt Lake City. Doing a good job and exceeding our customer’s expectations is a big deal. Even though electrical work is what we do, this will always be a PEOPLE business. Taking care of our customer’s needs translates to long term success.

New Additions to the SLC team:

• Madi Bell recently hired on as a new PM. She was previously working with Cache Valley Electric.

• Mikayla Bradford is a brand-new PE. She recently graduated from Ohio University.

Congratulations to Ron Blackburn, Juoquin Guzman, and Blaze Nalder for recently passing the Journeyman’s Test!
