We exist to create jobs that allow people to realize their full potential by providing honest, quality, and innovative solutions to our partners.
We take a much different approach to customers than many other construction companies. When you decide to bring us onto your project, you are bringing on a partner—someone you can trust. Someone who will get the job done correctly, and safely. When we partner with utility providers, engineering firms, or other construction companies, we're forming a mutually beneficial relationship. We help you expand, rebuild, or maintain your infrastructure, and you help us generate revenue to help our employees grow, provide for their families, and see their personal goals realized. We need each other—we are a team!
As an employee, we may be the company you've been looking for. With us, one can start from zero, gain valuable knowledge through provided training, and have a career that allows you to provide for your family, meet your life goals, as well as be a part of something where others truly want you to succeed. We exist for you.
Successful entrepreneur, and born and bred North Carolinian, Cody Williamson, started his utility construction career working for a contractor on a fiber to the home and copper maintenance project in the mountains of West Virginia for Frontier Communications. During his early years of working in the industry on FTTH builds and storm restoration during Hurricane Sandy, he quickly realized the industry had potential, but had its flaws too. Fueled by greed, he witnessed contractors falsely invoicing for unperformed work, system owners rightfully not trusting the contractors, employees being taken advantage of, not being paid, and complete disregard for their family’s needs.
Recognizing this was not fair for employees, or customers, Cody founded Rivers Utilities to build a company on honesty and quality; where employees had the opportunity to build the life they wanted and deserved, while customers had a contractor they could rely on and trust.
Since setting out on this journey, Cody has led and grown the Rivers team to construct multiple FTTX and communications builds and has become a go-to source for emergency restoration—all while leading team members to reach their potential and create lasting, honest, and fair partnerships with customers. Rivers Utilities continues to grow under his leadership, and has since branched out into traffic solutions with Rivers Safety, and has launched their own training facility to support industry growth.
