Beyond the executive team, CARIAN is built on a strong foundation of program directors, field leaders, technical SMEs, and utility veterans.
These hands-on professionals lead the charge on planning, engineering, construction oversight, and program controls ensuring outcomes are delivered, not just promised.
CARIAN’s leaders aren’t career consultants they’ve run utility portfolios, responded to storm events, resolved crises, and delivered under regulatory scrutiny. We lead with urgency, act like owners, and know what’s on the line.
