The Bonneville Power Administration is a federal power marketing agency that serves the Pacific Northwest.
Emerson’s work with BPA began in 2007. In 2015, he became a supervisor in operations and maintenance, which gave him an opportunity to lead and mentor others, and helped the administration realize the goal of a standardized program. Currently, Emerson oversees day-to-day maintenance and repairs for Bonneville Power Administration facilities, and is responsible for the oversight and management of the administration’s commercial lease program, storm water program and the fire risk assessment program.
