Phillips Infrastructure Corp.

What Phillips Infrastructure Corp. does

Phillips Infrastructure Corp. is a privately held, woman-owned heavy civil infrastructure contractor headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, operating through four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Phillips Heavy, Phillips Power, Phillips Environmental, and Phillips Fleet. The company delivers integrated infrastructure services across five primary end markets — power and utilities, water infrastructure, industrial and commercial development, mining reclamation, and disaster response — serving enterprise clients that include regulated utilities (PPL, AEP, FPL, PG&E, Duke Energy, Cross Texas Transmission, Garland Power), industrial developers (Ford BlueOval City, Blue Origin, Nucor, Amazon), and federal/state agencies (USACE, CDOT, PG&E). Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts covering site development, transmission line construction, coal combustion residual handling, mine reclamation, environmental remediation, and emergency debris removal, with individual projects ranging from residential subdivisions to multi-hundred-million-dollar megasite developments. The company is reported to operate at approximately one billion dollars in revenue and traces its heritage to 1952, with the current legal entity established in 1984.

The business model is B2B enterprise project delivery acquired through direct relationship management and competitive bidding on RFPs and procurement processes. Phillips differentiates through self-perform capability across civil, electrical, and high-voltage scopes, owned equipment fleet mobilization, long-tenured operational workforce (multiple senior executives with 25-40+ year tenures), and bonding capacity supported by its billion-dollar scale. Geographic reach spans six US Census regions with regional offices in Tennessee, Colorado, North Carolina, and Florida. Operations are project-based and transactional rather than recurring, with work spanning multiple-year multi-state engagements and disaster response deployments. The company is governed by a Board of Directors and underwent a leadership transition in December 2025, with 35+ year internal veteran Patrick McMullen appointed as CEO and founder-family CEO Teddy Phillips Jr. moving to Executive Director of the Board.
