About Brad Davis

My number one priority is helping our electric and gas customers be successful on projects from concept to completion. We are focused on providing value through quality construction deliverables and innovative solutions.Power delivery systems are increasingly complex, and customers’ expectations are becoming increasingly challenging. My experience in planning, designing and constructing these complex systems means that our team can bring together all the components in a safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable manner, and we have seen about every situation that exists.I have extensive experience in building and leading technical teams and working on change management initiatives to help clients meet their goals. My specialties include technical consulting, power systems engineering, utility operations, construction, strategic planning, project and program management, and portfolio management.For 11+ years, I served in various roles at an investor-owned utility, primarily focused on leading the transmission planning and substation engineering organizations. I also spent 10 years building engineering consulting offices for three firms focused on electric utility engineering services before my current endeavor.I have an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, and I am a longtime senior member of I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, which usually revolves around food, music, or sports. I previously owned a youth soccer club and have experience coaching youth soccer and baseball. I took that responsibility very seriously because being a positive influence on a child’s life can have a profound impact on their trajectory and learning life skills while having fun is an effective vehicle for reinforcing those positive traits.Let me know if I can help you with a project.
