Taylor Dodson is a seasoned leader in the power and renewable energy sector with more than two decades of experience driving complex infrastructure projects across North America and beyond. From high-voltage substations and transmission systems to utility-scale solar, battery storage, data center infrastructure, and wind power, Taylor has been at the forefront of building and connecting over 14 gigawatts of renewable energy to the grid—enough to power more than six million homes.

Currently serving as Vice President of Program Management and Operations at EPC Services Company, Taylor oversees national execution strategy for substation, data center, thermal generation, and BESS projects, managing everything from construction field operations and commissioning to quality assurance and long-term maintenance support. He also plays a key role in executive leadership development, interdepartmental collaboration, and technical mentorship across the organization.

Taylor’s career is defined by a rare blend of deep technical fluency and visionary team-building. He previously built the high-voltage EPC division at SOLV Energy, where he also strengthened O&M and testing capabilities, with a strong focus on safety culture, training frameworks, and the development of emerging leaders in the power industry.

A systems thinker and problem-solver, Taylor has contributed to and led efforts in automation of substation design, development of internal QA/QC and estimating tools, and the streamlining of SCADA, relay, and protection schemes. His background includes software development for turnkey marketing platforms, advanced project scheduling, and extensive work on retrofit and international engineering projects—including refinery and petrochemical design for clients in Russia.

More than a project executive, Taylor is a culture builder. He believes that infrastructure is ultimately a people business, and that investing in knowledge transfer, mentorship, and community-rooted engineering is the key to long-term sustainability and impact.
