Zachary Allison’s father works in the civil side of construction, and he planned on following in his footsteps. When he realized it wasn’t for him, the owner of an electrical company persuaded him that electrical was the only way to go.
He then attended four years of trade school at Independent Electrical Contractors-Rocky Mountain. In addition, he has completed training focused on motor controls, medium voltage, supervision, training others, and leadership.
“Completing four years of trade school really helped me to get to where I am today at Weifield,” he says. “It taught me the ins and outs of electrical and also helped me to become the leader I am today.”
He starts each day by being the first one on-site and ensuring his crews have the proper tools, materials, and layout for maximum productivity. After participating in a Stretch and Flex huddle, he supervises the workers to ensure everything is being installed correctly.
“My responsibilities have changed completely from the first years I started doing electrical work to now,” he says. “I went from learning all the parts and pieces of the install to making sure everyone has the parts, pieces, and knowledge to deliver a quality product.”
Recently, he managed a crew who installed the critical communication system for a 3.9-million-sq-ft Amazon distribution facility. He is currently working as a field supervisor on a design-build for Coors Tek based in Golden, Colo.
In the future, he hopes to eventually become a general manager or general superintendent and is excited and honored to be part of EC&M’s 30 Under 30.
“What sets me apart from others is my dedication and effort I give 110% of the time,” he says. “I’m glad to see my hard work and dedication to the trade is paying off.”
