William Johnson began his career in 2001, after graduating high school in Pickering, LA. He was given the opportunity to learn and install Andover Controls with his Uncle Ron at Westover Controls Corporation in Denver, Co. While grasping the construction industry policies and procedures, William expressed a desire to enhance his capabilities with building automation systems and began to watch over the programming technicians and engineers. William worked on small renovation projects around the Denver metro area including the CU Boulder campus, Exempla Healthcare Facilities, and Children’s Hospital of Denver.
In 2003, after researching the building automation product manufacturers, William sought employment with the local Automated Logic dealer in Denver, Integrated Control Systems, Inc (ICSI). His employment started out as a Project Install Lead then soon transitioned into a Lead Field Technician, performing starting up and commissioning of automation systems for elementary schools within Denver Public Schools and critical systems within The Urology Center of Denver, and Sky Ridge Medical Center. William was asked in 2006 if he was interested in the Automated Logic engineering course in Atlanta, GA which offered to teach ALC technicians how to design and setup an ALC control system from beginning to end. Upon completion, William was then asked to join the service team performing such tasks as general automation maintenance, to emergency service calls for a much broader customer base. This included everything from high rise building air handling systems, to data center chiller plants.
In 2008, William was subcontracted by DVLA to assist as a local resource in the Comcast Potomac Data Center build. While the design was established before William’s involvement, he fully implemented the building automation system. With the successful completion of the critical infrastructure monitoring and controls, William joined the DVL team, heading up the facility maintenance contract and performing the critical system maintenances at Comcast Potomac. From 2008 until today William has been involved with all builds and maintenances at the Potomac site.
In 2014, William took a position at PVI to engineer, maintain, and work simultaneously with customers, particularly Comcast, to improve their building automation systems. William has established healthy working relationships with the vendors as well as the customers and coworkers that he comes in contact with every day. Since 2015, William has lead all critical maintenances, repairs and builds at the Dry Creek Facility and at the Titan Uplink Facility. William was promoted to General Manager of PVI West in addition to his maintenance responsibilities. Most recent projects include the replacement of UPS B at DCF, the temporary and permanent replacement of DCF Switchgear C and the High Density Cooling projects at Titan Earth Station.
