Summit Team,
As we approach the end of 2023, we can reflect on a year of company growth, successful implementations, and outstanding field construction performance. Over the past year, our company has continued to thrive and prove its resilience in the face of challenges. Your dedication to excellence and commitment to our clients have set us on a path of continuous expansion and accomplishment.
A quick summary of 2023 highlights is as follows:
- New Systems Implementations (JDE, Hubble, Ecosys, iCIMS)
- Increased employee count to over 1,000 employees, marking an increase of 400+ teammates.
- Welcomed the Las Vegas and Reno Regions into the family.
- Established the Arizona/New Mexico/West Texas Region.
- Construction equipment resources increased by 2X.
- Promoted new leaders and reorganized our reporting structure to allow for growth.
Needless to say, it’s been a busy year with a lot of changes, but our work isn’t done. We must continue to emphasize our commitment to safety and The Capacity Model. We faced challenges in 2023 regarding workplace incidents, and unfortunately, some of our teammates experienced long recoveries. As a result, we have initiated a Safety Emphasis Program to reinforce our safety culture and further embed The Capacity Model. I consider this my number one priority and appreciate your shared commitment to this effort.
Lastly, the industry we serve offers over a decade of promising opportunity, including transmission and substation buildout, renewables, grid modernization/hardening, and EV saturation. Our customers, government and climate regulations, project financing challenges, and private development make the industry as dynamic as it has ever been. We have an abundance of opportunity, but that doesn't automatically guarantee long-term success. We must prepare to strategically build and position ourselves for the journey ahead. This will be achieved through unwavering focus on safety, culture, quality, employee development, and operational management.
We are building the critical infrastructure necessary for future generations. In summary, be proud of everything we are doing together as a company, and we will continue to make a difference.
Thank you, and stay safe.
Dylan B. Welsh
