One of the region’s biggest – and best – employers made a huge mark in honor of Veterans Day. Power Design, Inc., headquartered in St. Pete, honored veterans at the November 9th Tampa Bay Buccaneers game as it donated $28,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project.
It was the annual Salute to Service Game for the Bucs, which Power Design sponsored to honor their veterans on staff and all veterans throughout Tampa Bay. As part of the sponsorship, Power Design staked up an initial $25,000 donation for WWP, and promised an additional $1,000 for every point scored beyond 25. The resulting score led to $28,000 from PDI going to help support veterans of America’s armed forces who were harmed in the line of duty, as well as their families.
As part of the Salute to Service festivities, several veterans on the PDI staff were treated to a game, while one was even presented with his own jersey, given tunnel and sideline passes, and honored on the video board mid-game. DJ Brooker, who is an Electrical Assistant Superintendent at Power Design, enjoyed the special experience at Raymond James Stadium.
Supporting veterans isn’t just a one-day thing for Power Design. The design-build contracting company has a long track record of providing pathways for veterans entering new careers post-service. Programs within the company then support those veterans once they’re on board.
Power Design has annually been ranked as one of the best workplaces in America for all employees, and it is an excellent option for veterans forging a new career path. Learn more about working for Power Design and see current job opportunities here.
Power Design sets an industry standard
As for the work of the company itself, Power Design has grown into something of a one-stop shop for construction developers. Their engineering and design-build expertise has made them one of the go-to companies across the country.
Specifically, they focus on electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and systems technologies buildout for construction projects. By specializing in so many different areas (a rarity in the field), Power Design helps streamline construction processes by doing the work of what typically requires multiple contractors.

Of course, while it’s their professional services that make them important to their clients and partners, it’s Power Design’s role in the community that makes it special to St. Pete. It’s a rarity in so many of Florida’s growing cities to have such a large company not only headquartered locally, but founded there. Power Design is entrenched as an economic driver for the individuals and families who actually live in St. Pete and the surrounding areas.
