Email Simon P.Biography
Simon Ellis is InfraMap’s longest tenured employee, having joined our team in 1996 and currently serves as our Vice President of Field Operations. In his 25 years with InfraMap, he has completed multiple projects for SUE contracts for VDOT, MDOT, MSHA, FDOT, SCDOT, GDOT and numerous localities throughout the East Coast. Simon has extensive experience in subsurface and aerial utility location and designation, utility coordination, and project management.
As Vice President of Field Operations, Simon oversees designating crews, coordinates survey, provides data to our CADD department to produce utility maps, and performs project review and quality assurance, throughout InfraMap’s territories. When test holes are requested, he coordinates the efforts of InfraMap’s air/vacuum excavation crews to provide precise vertical verification of existing utilities. Additionally, he oversees our field training programs. His consistent efforts have enabled InfraMap to take on and complete large projects on time and on budget.
Simon is a veteran. He served in Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, and retired from the United States Marine Corps Reserve as a Gunnery Sergeant.
“I had a few different jobs when I left active duty, but it rarely felt like I was doing anything meaningful or challenging in the “civilian world”. That changed over 25 years ago when I began working here. InfraMap’s on-the-job training allowed me to acquire new skills, take on new responsibilities, and eventually work my way up from an entry level position to Vice President of Field Operations.”
Simon Ellis, VPFO
