Equity in Energy: Trice Construction

The "Equity in Energy" event adopted its keynote address' title "Beyond Ordinary" as its theme. A panel discussion among four diverse subcontractor leaders was inspiring as well. The CEO of Trice Construction, the Presidents of APC Construction and EVS, and the Business Development Director of Blaze Contracting all brought unique perspectives on how they and similar companies nationwide can take on increasing roles in the energy transformation.
 

PUF's Steve Mitnick: What's the secret sauce of Trice Construction?

Stephanie Hickman: The secret sauce of Trice Construction is our industry experience. I'm coming up on thirty years in the industry and on the construction side for the last seventeen.

I started my utilities career with Duquesne Light Company in Pittsburgh, and I was also at ComEd. I knew the industry, and there was a point when my family's construction business was looking to wind down. I'm second generation in the family's now fifty-seven-year-old business.

I saw an opportunity where a lot of infrastructure projects were coming online while my uncles in the business were ready to retire. I thought there was a good intersection of my experience in the industry and my family's legacy in construction to pull that together.
