How a Pay-As-You-Go Workforce Model Saves Utilities Millions
The Smarter, Faster Way to Build a High-Performance Utilities Project Workforce
Every utilities leader knows the pressure.
The deadline is non-negotiable. The budget is shrinking. The site is complex, the logistics tighter than ever, and everyone—from regulators to residents—is watching.
What keeps projects alive or kills them isn’t always strategy or funding—it’s execution. And the biggest variable in execution? The people doing the work.
But here’s the problem: most utilities are still staffing for projects like it’s the 1990s—loading up the payroll upfront, guessing at demand, and hoping things don’t change midstream.
They always do.
That’s why more utilities are moving toward a smarter model: a pay-as-you-go workforce. It’s fast. It’s flexible. And when done right, it can save millions in wasted labor, delays, and missed opportunities.
