After earning his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Auburn University, Phillip began his career in materials testing and geotechnical design along the South Carolina coast, working on projects involving deep foundations, spread footings, and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. Following four years in that space and obtaining his Professional Engineer (P.E.) license, he transitioned into the general contractor sector with a focus on heavy industrial construction, primarily water and wastewater treatment facilities. Over the next 16 years, he specialized in the procurement and management of electrical, instrumentation and controls (I&C), and process equipment scopes on projects throughout the Southeast, including Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Phillip joined Stansell Electric in 2022.
