Background

About Eric Graning

I have over 25 years of experience in the utility construction industry. I am a passionate and driven leader who strives to deliver high-quality solutions to my clients and stakeholders. I am committed to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and I enjoy collaborating with diverse and talented professionals who share my vision and values. Before founding Helix Solutions, I was the Vice President at Comlink Solutions, where I was responsible for creating and expanding the underground construction division from scratch. I managed all aspects of the division, including bidding, estimating, planning, executing, and overseeing utility projects for national and local clients. I successfully billed $3 million net new revenue in year 1 and $11 million net new revenue in year 2, demonstrating my skills in new business development, team building, and project planning. I also have extensive experience as a Regional Manager of Underground Construction at Michels Corporation, where I oversaw the day-to-day operation of utility projects throughout North Central United States. I have a strong background in fiber, telephone, power, and CATV construction, and I am always eager to learn new technologies and best practices in the industry.
