Highlights
  • Rosendin has transitioned from a sound family-owned business to a 100 percent employee-owned enterprise that stands as one of the industry leaders for electrical solutions in the US.
  • “We define excellence not as a determination based on each project but how we succeed in the long run,” says Bill Mazzetti, Senior Vice President, Rosendin Electric.
  • As one of the largest electrical contractors in the US with annual revenues in excess of $4 billion, the company is proud of its 100+ year history of building quality electrical and communications installations.

LEADER OF THE PACK

Rosendin has differentiated itself from the competition through many distinguishing factors developed over the course of its century of service, including its high level of safety diligence, consistent innovation, tailored customer service, expert knowledge, and ability to lead some of the most complex construction projects in the nation. 

“Our clients get to choose from some competent firms and tough competitors of ours. We at Rosendin are proud when our clients decide they want us,” enthuses Mazzetti. 

The choice is clear when the company’s products, service offerings, results, and community support are examined. 

The pride the company has in its ability to build quality electrical and communications installations, thus bringing value to clients, is of great importance and drives its day-to-day operations across the US. 

“I believe our positive image is based on the consistent, successful execution of our work, being great strategic partners for our clients, general contractors, peer builders at subcontractor level, and key suppliers, consultants, and service providers,” details Mazzetti. 

Rosendin highlights the crucial importance of its partnerships and relationships, as the company is steadfast in the belief that its loyal customers deserve a team as committed, connected, and engaged as they are. 

Additionally, the company is delivering many of the most significant commercial and clean energy projects in the US, furthering its presence as a business actively looking toward the future with the good of its community and people in mind. 

“We define excellence not as a determination based on each project but how we succeed in the long run. We’re often ‘pipelined’ by our key clients for several years, assuring both of our success,” expands Mazzetti. 

Rosendin has demonstrated excellence across the many projects it has undertaken for clients, which is reflected in how the company is viewed by its people and partners.

BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENERGY

Renewable energy is integral to the future of power generation, and many industries have recognized this imminent reality, passionately working toward properly implementing the necessary changes.   

Over the past 15 years, the company has assisted its clients in harnessing and delivering nearly 32 gigawatts (GW) of clean power through the company’s dedicated team – Rosendin’s Renewable Energy Group (REG), a market leader in developing innovative, cost-effective energy solutions. 

Today, Rosendin is expanding its energy offerings into the complete spectrum of production, transmission, and distribution facilities to include small modular reactors, legacy plant restart, and utility alternative/enhancement power systems. 

REG engages with clients early in the project development phase to impart critical constructability, system performance, and service consideration information before the final design. 

Offering services such as project feasibility and energy performance analysis, procurement, construction, commissioning, operations, and maintenance, Rosendin has undertaken renewable energy projects in solar power, wind energy, and battery storage. 

Regarding the company’s work in solar power, its experience and unique capabilities allow it to take on challenging solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in diverse locations and environments, including commercial sites, hospitals, schools, universities, government facilities, and utility-grade solar farms. 

Committed to ‘Building Green’, Rosendin is an industry leader in constructing electrical systems for wind projects throughout the nation. With experienced management quality and on-time performance, the company provides plant owners with an unparalleled source of electrical construction services. 

Energy storage systems (ESS) are expected to play a critical role in assuring sustainable growth over the next 10 years, as they provide power ramping support, frequency regulation, curtailment de-risk, and the back-up power necessary to mitigate continued renewable energy grid integration challenges.  

Rosendin has led the way in ESS installations, having been implementing battery energy storage systems (BESS) for clients across different market applications for decades. 

Given its leadership position in the sustainable energy industry, Rosendin is now focusing on leveraging its long-standing BESS experience and expertise to provide best-in-class BESS integration services alongside other renewable energy offerings. 

The group has proudly provided extensive design-build expertise   and turnkey energy performance certificate (EPC) capabilities to over 330 projects in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Guam, ranging from 500 kilowatts (KW) to over 720 megawatts (MW). 

In total, Rosendin’s REG has completed over 75 utility solar projects, 145 wind generation projects, 100 DG solar projects, and 150 substations, alongside installing 5GW of solar generation, 1.3 gigawatt hours (GWh) of BESS, and 27GW of wind generation. 

AN INSPRING INDUSTRY

Due to the constantly changing nature of electricity and research into how it can be utilized more efficiently in everyday life, the industry never rests, making it an undeniably inspiring and stimulating environment to be in. 

“Exciting is an understatement for some of our core markets in energy, data centers, high-tech manufacturing, and transportation,” states Mazzetti. 

“Rosendin has been busy for the past 20 years that I’ve been here. That does not mean there are not the usual ups and downs we see in every economy, but as one of the leaders in the construction industry, our teams can be flexible and go wherever the work is.” 

For example, the company’s teams in San Francisco and Los Angeles are some of the best high-rise commercial builders in the world, however there hasn’t been much of that work lately. 

Instead, there has been a more significant focus on data centers and BESS, as energy is a huge and rapidly expanding industry with enormous demand from corporations for reliable storage capabilities. 

“Because of our excellent track record over the last 100 years, Rosendin does not tend to shed or exit our mature businesses – we lead in them. When the chip fabrication cycle returns, for example, we always get some of the first calls,” insights Mazzetti.  

With so much diversity in the projects the company is working on currently, it is primarily focusing on technology infrastructure while also doing a lot of great work in commercial buildings. 

AT THE CUTTING EDGE

As technology continues to transform the way the electrical construction industry works, Rosendin is zeroing in on balancing the need for innovation with practical knowledge to ensure project stability. 

The company has been focused on data centers for over two decades, having led the industry not just from a design and construction standpoint but from an entrepreneurial and thought leadership perspective. 

“We have supported leaders in the sector, such as Digital Realty Trust, Compass, Vantage, and Stack, to name a few,” prides Mazzetti. 

“Every one of those clients is even bigger today than when we first began working with them, which is a testament to us.” 

Additionally, the company delivers between six to nine percent of US data center capacity every year, and with the industry counting on Rosendin to deliver consistent results, it takes this responsibility and market position very seriously.   

The business works as one to deliver solutions by spending    countless hours and substantial funds on trend predictions and thought leadership, thus allowing its clients to navigate emerging trends and avoid potential risk. 

“We consider the demands of artificial intelligence (AI) on the built environment, utility grid exhaustion and innovative power solutions, the co-development of clean power and data centers, along with a host of other things,” details Mazzetti. 

“We’re not just builders; we’re a business.” 

Today, the company is working with a leading hardware manufacturer to speed up the delivery and installation of their systems while addressing unique power system and planning challenges unique to its gear. 

This relationship stems from Rosendin’s track record with the client, having previously solved another set of challenges.   

“Ultimately, it loops back to the confidence clients have in us    becoming generational trust,” declares Mazzetti.
