January 28, 2021

Satterfield & Pontikes Construction has appointed Kevin O’Brien as Vice President to lead its newly-established Mission Critical Center of Excellence (COE).

The addition of this COE, along with those in Healthcare and Multi-Family, signals the company’s intent to diversify the scope of its existing portfolio as a means to increase market share and add value to the 32-year-old company.   The new COEs will complement the company’s existing Education and Aviation Centers of Excellence.

S&P’s Mission Critical COE, designed to leverage a rapidly growing data center market for buildings that must remain fully operational 24×7 without interruption will be led by Kevin O’Brien.  With more than 30 years of mission critical engineering and construction experience, O’Brien joins S&P from Turner & Townsend where he served as a Director for the last two years.  Previously, he served as the Director of Mission Critical for Gilbane, Inc. and for Structuretone Mission Critical.  O’Brien has a BSME from the University of Central Florida.

“Kevin is a terrific addition to our leadership team,” said Clay Morel, S&P’s president.  “The establishment of the Mission Critical COE at S&P is a formal acknowledgement of this fast-growing segment of our industry.   Under Kevin’s management, we are confident that we will continue to successfully grow this area of our business.”
