About the PACK
PACK Power was founded in 2023 to meet a growing demand for specialized High Voltage and Medium Voltage expertise within the Renewable, Power Delivery, Utility, and Data Center markets. The company was built by industry veterans Rob Lee, Matt Behr, and Derek Tollefson. Each of them brings decades of hands-on experience and a shared vision of partnering with clients to deliver exceptional, successful projects.
At its core, PACK Power operates like a family. The team takes pride in fostering a culture where everyone looks out for one another and collaboration comes first. That focus on “us” instead of “me” drives a fun, respectful, and productive environment – one that naturally extends to the relationships built with clients and partners.
What sets PACK Power apart is its unwavering commitment to honesty and responsiveness. The team’s passion for integrity and clear communication defines every project and fuels the trust clients have come to expect.
The company’s name embodies this philosophy. Like a pack of wolves, every member of the team has a role to play, a shared purpose, and the strength that comes from unity. Together, the PACK is a force to be reckoned with – driven by experience, teamwork, and respect – to lead the way in the High Voltage and Medium Voltage industries.
The Pack Process
Every project begins with a partnering session where our team comes together with our client to exchange all relevant information and establish alignment and trust. This early collaboration helps to create mutual understanding and shared goals, identify potential project risks and opportunities, define clear communication channels, and set expectations for safety, quality, and performance. It’s where we lay the groundwork for a cohesive and successful collaboration.
Once the partnership is established and all stakeholders have been identified, we develop a strategic project plan tailored to each client’s needs. We refine the scope, establish solid schedules, develop mitigation plans for known risks, and begin this process of allocating resources to the project. This phase ensures every detail of the project is considered and mapped out. Our engineering and project management teams work together to translate the previously identified goals and objectives into a realistic and actionable path forward.
Our team of internal experts and external consultants leverages decades of experience in high voltage and medium voltage systems to craft robust, efficient, and reliable designs tailored to the client’s specifications and the project needs. We focus on safety, constructability, and long-term performance, balancing industry best practices and innovation to create designs that set the project up for success during both construction and lifecycle operations and maintenance.
Before it’s time to build, our on-site construction managers and their crews are brought into a controlled office setting for a dedicated planning session with the project manager and engineers. Detailed reviews are performed to ensure that all necessary safety and quality processes are in place, all necessary materials, tools, and equipment have been properly accounted for, and that the crew fully understands project-specific construction requirements and schedule milestones. Planning ahead prepares the team to meet project challenges head-on and ensures efficient project execution.
Once we have mobilized our team to the site to begin the active construction phase of the project, our field crews, project managers, and support staff coordinate seamlessly to execute the established plan safely and efficiently. We emphasize communication, adaptability, and on-site collaboration to keep the project on schedule and on budget. The result is quality workmanship that accurately shows our high standards and the trust our clients have placed in us.
Before energization and completion, every physical and virtual component is rigorously tested, verified, and documented to meet performance expectations, project specifications, and regulatory standards to validate that all systems operate safely and reliably. All the relevant test results, quality documentation, inspection forms, material information, and as-built engineering documentation are compiled into a cohesive turnover package to give our clients complete confidence in our results.
A single project completion isn’t the finish line here at PACK Power. It’s the beginning of a lasting partnership. We take pride in delivering not only a successful project but also a trusted relationship built on collaboration, transparency, and mutual respect. After each project, we have a lesson learned meeting with the client and other project stakeholders to identify what went well to ensure continued success and what we may be able to improve on for our next project together. Our goal is to deliver the Gold Standard and to be the team clients call again for their future challenges.
