What does it take to build a utility-scale solar engineering firm that lasts?
Tyler Nelson, PE, President of Revamp, sits down with Nico Johnson from SunCast Podcast to discuss how this industry is actually built and what it takes to build a firm meant to last.
Tyler and Nico cover a lot of territory: starting the company in 2016 with six months of runway and a San Francisco mortgage, the early clients who took a chance on a one-person shop, and how a 13-person team landed one of the largest EPC portfolios in the country just three years in. Tyler also shares what it looks like to scale a 180+-person remote team without sacrificing quality, why Revamp decided to transition to an ESOP, and what it means to be a true partner to developers and EPCs rather than just another vendor on the project.
Thank you to Nico Johnson and SunCast Podcast for having Tyler on the show!
