“Centuri is poised to play an even greater role in helping our customers meet the ever-increasing demands placed on our nation’s aging gas and electric infrastructure, supporting an increasing load demand driven by AI and new technologies, and accelerating the alternative energy transition,” said Paul Caudill, Centuri Interim President & CEO. “The appointments of Dylan and Jim come at a pivotal time as we look to expand on these opportunities with current and new customers. Both leaders bring extensive industry and customer experience that will help us continue our high standard of operational excellence and achieve our growth objectives.”

He joined Centuri in 1999 as a foreman for NPL and prior to this appointment, was President, US Gas–Great Lakes where he successfully led NPL’s Midwest operations. Throughout Jim’s nearly 20 years with the Company, he has held several roles in leadership with a focus on customers, operations support services, and business strategy. Jim joined Centuri in 2006, most recently serving as President of Centuri Gas Group.

“These leadership moves further optimize our people and our resources by maintaining a flat organizational structure and reducing further layers in our gas operations while aiding in the delivery of enhanced value for our customers, communities, and numerous stakeholders, including our shareholders,” said Caudill.
