Building Stronger Communities Through Utility Infrastructure

UPA works with utilities and municipalities to connect infrastructure projects with meaningful community outcomes.

Through local hiring, workforce development, and subcontractor development, we help strengthen the communities where we work while supporting project requirements, safety, quality, and performance.

Investing in
Local Communities

Utility infrastructure projects create opportunities to invest in the people and businesses within the communities we serve.

  • Workforce Development UPA helps expand the utility workforce by creating opportunities for local workers and supporting the development of skills needed for complex infrastructure projects.
  • Small Business Support We work with small, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses to strengthen capabilities and help qualified firms pursue larger utility contracts.
  • Community Investment and Benefits Our programs help utilities support local economic opportunities while maintaining the safety, quality, and compliance standards required for utility work
  • Developing Strong Utility Subcontractors UPA supports subcontractors as they build the capacity, compliance practices, and specialized skills required to perform utility infrastructure work.

Supporting Safe, Reliable Project Delivery

UPA works to align participating firms with the safety, quality, compliance, and operational standards required by utilities and large infrastructure programs.

This approach expands available workforce capacity while giving utility partners greater consistency across the project.

Capabilities Across Infrastructure

Developed subcontractors can support a range of infrastructure needs, including wet utilities, energy and grid projects, telecommunications, and maintenance services.
