Karissa Murillo & Chris Bruner of Blattner on Renewables, Leadership & the Future of Energy
What does it take to build one of the largest renewable energy projects in U.S. history?
In this episode of Powerline Podcast, we head into the wind side of SunZia with Karissa Murillo and Chris Bruner of Blattner.
Together, they break down the scale, coordination, and leadership it takes to install hundreds of turbines across remote terrain, and why this work is about more than just clean power.
Karissa and Chris talk about the team dynamics, culture, and communication challenges on a job this size, and how leading people well can be just as important as hitting production goals.
They also share what surprised them about the renewables construction and what they wish was known different trades. Whether you’re on the line or in renewables, this episode connects the dots on the future of the industry, and the people powering it.
