Berkley - Strategic Energy Solutions grows to 21 people in Berkley

metromode, 1/22/2009
Eleven years ago, Strategic Energy Solutions employed three people and focused on the telecom industry. Today it has a staff of 21 and focuses on designing sustainable mechanical and electrical systems, such as geothermal.

One thing has been constant for the Berkley-based firm – growth. It averages a new hire or two each year. Last year was no exception for Strategic Energy Solutions. It took on two more people and plans to do so again this year.

"I want to not just survive, but thrive," says Steve DiBerardine, president of Strategic Energy Solutions. "I refuse to participate in the downturn."

He is putting his money where his mouth is, rehabilitating a new home with much more space in Berkley. He should be set for the next seven years if he continues bringing on two people annually.

Strategic Energy Solutions is also walking its talk, going for silver LEED certification for its new home. Not the cheapest way to go, but a sure-fire way to send a message that it means business.
