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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s armed forces who were harmed in the line of duty, as well as their families.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/power-design-vets-video-board-1024x658.jpg\" alt=\"A couple at football game\" class=\"wp-image-195465\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting veterans isn\u2019t 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\u2019re on board. <\/p>\n<p>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. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerdesigninc.us\/careers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Learn more about working for Power Design and see current job opportunities here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/power-design-vets-couple-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"A couple at football game\" class=\"wp-image-195466\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Power Design sets an industry standard<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pdi-aerial-1024x576.png\" alt=\"The exterior of Power Design, Inc.\" class=\"wp-image-77058\"  \/>Photo courtesy Power Design, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, while it\u2019s their professional services that make them important to their clients and partners, it\u2019s Power Design\u2019s role in the community that makes it special to St. Pete. It\u2019s a rarity in so many of Florida\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Power Design, and look for careers at St. Pete\u2019s largest private employer, at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerdesigninc.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">powerdesigninc.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the region\u2019s biggest \u2013 and best \u2013 employers made a huge mark in honor of Veterans&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-52746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
