Troy Vaughn and Jason Avent started Principle Services with a simple idea: take care of your people.
Seven years in, that hasn't changed.
Built on More Than Milestones
We could celebrate this anniversary with numbers. Projects wrapped. Clients added. Revenue grown. And honestly, we're proud of all of it. But when Troy and Jason sat down to reflect on seven years, that's not what came to mind first.
"We find ourselves incredibly grateful. Not for the milestones, metrics, or anniversary, but for the incredible team that shows up every single day committed to doing things the right way." — Troy Vaughn and Jason Avent, Co-Founders
That's the thing about building a company in power infrastructure and owner's representation. The work is technical, the stakes are high, and at the end of the day what actually holds it together is people who care. You see it in the field. You see it in how our team handles a tough conversation with a contractor. You see it in the relationships we've kept for years.
A Team That Takes Safety Personally
We work in environments where getting it wrong has real consequences. High voltage. Tight timelines. Pressure from every direction. Safety in this industry isn't something you can fake or phone in.
What we've seen over seven years is that the people on our team don't take safety seriously because someone's watching. They take it seriously because they're watching out for each other. That kind of culture doesn't come from a handbook. It comes from hiring the right people and not compromising on it.
Quality as a Point of Pride
There's always pressure to move fast. Schedules slip, budgets tighten, and someone is always asking if you can just let this one thing slide. Our team's answer to that is a non-negotiable: no.
Not because we're difficult. Because the infrastructure we help build will be running for decades. The communities those systems serve don't get a do-over if something was signed off when it shouldn't have been. Our people understand that, and they act like it.
A Culture Worth Showing Up For
We've built a culture where people actually want to be.
"We are grateful for people who invest in our culture because they understand that how we treat each other matters just as much as what we build." — Troy Vaughn and Jason Avent, Co-Founders
That shows up in how we hire, how we handle hard conversations, and how we support each other when a project gets tough. It's not perfect, but it's genuine, and we think people can feel the difference.
Thank You
To everyone who has been part of this, whether you've been here since the beginning or came on somewhere in the middle, this anniversary is really about you. You're the reason we're still here, still growing, and still excited about what's ahead.
Seven more years. Let's get to work.
