History
Our 70+ years of continued collaboration and partnered success with power providers are attributable to our deeply rooted industry upbringing. In 1952, Matt O. Wilson began laying the solid foundations for Wilson Construction in Troutdale, Oregon. Matt and his small crew worked to install powerlines for the Rural Electric Administration, which first brought electricity to farms in Oregon and Washington.
Knowing that sturdy equipment and hard workers were essential to success, Matt worked hard to find and hold onto the best personnel. Matt’s son and current CEO of Wilson Construction, Don Wilson, came to work for the company in 1974. Matt taught Don that experienced personnel, the ability to adapt to industry changes, and ongoing flexibility were essential building blocks to the successful safety, quality and cost philosophies the company embodies today. Now, President Stacy Wilson is the third generation of the family to guide the firm to the forefront of electrical utility construction. Grown from small beginnings, and continuing its family-owned tradition, the firm is now one of the largest privately held utility construction companies in the region.
We currently maintain offices in Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
