What hiring managers say about Advastar

Our project spanned a hyperscale data center and a 150 MW power plant, and Advastar staffed both scopes at once. They mobilized a full construction-management team fast enough to keep our commissioning deadlines intact.
Gregory Hale, VP of Construction, Infrastructure EPC Firm
Sixty days out from mobilization we still had leadership gaps and a labor shortfall. Advastar filled our project-controls and supervision roles and surged the crews we needed to keep 900,000 panels on a 14-month schedule.
Priya Nair, Project Director, Utility-Scale Solar EPC
We needed 200-plus certified tradespeople ready in 30 days, and Advastar delivered welders, millwrights and crane operators who already knew refinery work. The turnaround finished on schedule.
