"I'm thrilled to reunite with old friends and align with new colleagues who were once fierce competitors. I have known Total-Western from afar for many years, and I'm excited to join an organization that has incredible leaders at the helm and strong core values at its core," Cascia said. "I look forward to opening new doors and obtaining new opportunities that will grow the Energy division and, hopefully, expand the company nationwide."
Total-Western has had a long history dating back to its creation in 1972. Through various acquisitions and organic growth in local markets, the company has continued to grow its footprint across the Western U.S. Now, Total-Western is a larger and more complex enterprise than ever.
In his new role, Cascia will be responsible for achieving sales and marketing goals for the organization's energy and power plant groups while maintaining customer satisfaction across regional projects. Total-Western's Energy team performs mechanical, rigging, welding, and maintenance services for power generation and other industrial facilities.
Maintenance services include long-term supplemental maintenance, outage maintenance, repairs, and alterations to plant equipment. The team is experienced in "R" Stamp welding work and time sensitive outage projects that require extensive planning, coordinating, and general contracting. The Total-Western team aims to come in under budget, on time, and with a low weld reject rate.
