PHILADELPHIA, PA — Wick Fisher White continues to strengthen its mission-critical expertise and position the firm for continued growth with the hiring of Russell “Rusty” Carpenter as Project Executive. Rusty brings extensive experience in mission-critical, data center, telecommunications, and facility infrastructure projects.
Rusty previously worked with Wick Fisher White before taking his expertise to the owner's side of the industry, working as a senior manager for a Fortune 100 company. He now returns with an even broader perspective and firsthand understanding of the operational needs and challenges facing owners of complex, mission-critical facilities.
With a background in electrical engineering and more than 20 years of experience, Rusty has led complex engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, and capital improvement programs. His experience includes managing multidisciplinary teams and large capital investments while delivering reliable infrastructure solutions for mission-critical environments.
“We're excited to welcome Rusty back to the team as Project Executive,” said Principal Matthew Cofone, PE. “His technical expertise, combined with his experience on the owner side, gives him a valuable understanding of what it takes to successfully design, commission, operate, and maintain mission-critical facilities. As a returning member of the team, he also has a deep understanding of who we are as a firm, so he will fit right in with our company culture.”
As Project Executive, Rusty will oversee and deliver mission-critical and commissioning projects, while supporting business development, client relationships, and strategic planning. He will also work closely with project teams to help ensure quality, schedule, and budget objectives are achieved.
Rusty's addition builds upon Wick Fisher White's longstanding experience in mission-critical, data center, and telecommunications environments while expanding the leadership and expertise needed to support the firm's continued growth.
