SAFETY
is the core component that leads to every project’s successful completion. We understand the value of keeping our teams safe, not only for their own well- being, but for the direct impact safety violations and accidents can have on a project’s budget and schedule. We place the utmost importance and attention to maintaining a culture of safety to ensure all our team members come home safe every day.
ACCOUNTABILITY
is key to maintaining the integrity and quality of workmanship required so that each project is delivered to meet all code, permitting, design and client requirements. A good team work foundation with open communication empowers each team member to hold each other accountable, no matter their role.
LEADERSHIP
is the cornerstone of maintaining safety, collaboration and integrity for every project and its team. At Utilion, we understand leadership is earned and we ensure each project has the right leader in place to satisfy ALL project stakeholders and achieve project success.
TEAMWORK
among all project stakeholders creates a collaborative environment which fosters mutual respect and the desire to develop mutually beneficial solutions to problems, resolve issues at the lowest level, and avoid unnecessary or elongated confrontations. It also exponentially increases project safety, because a good team watches each other’s backs.
