Employee Spotlight: Meet Adam Brockmiller

Adam Brockmiller
Director, Substation Operations

Tell us a little bit about you.

I like spending time with my wife and two kids. Fishing, ballgames and hiking are some of my hobbies. A fun fact, is that I’ve had a double lung transplant in 2010, and am a avid transplant and cystic fibrosis advocate.

How did your journey start with Liberty?

I started with Liberty in December of 2007, I did two 8 month internships prior while studying at Missouri University of Science and Technology. I have a BS Electrical Engineering. The internships allowed me to see a large part of the company through my involvement with the System Planning and Protection group. I saw how Engineering was applied and my inherit nature to solve challenges on the system. I was fortunate enough for the company to invest in me and allow me to hire on quickly after graduation. The unique ability to help keeps light on, and help design the system to provide better quality of service really keeps the drive in me to serve our customers, both internally and externally. During the internship I met a lot of different groups, which allowed me to work closely with others groups, Business and Community Development, Engineering, Generation, Line and Substation Operations, Reliability, OMS mapping, contact Center FP&A, all of which play critical roles in customer service, allowing me to grow outside of just my technical educational background.

What is your favorite part of working at Liberty?

My favorite part of working with Liberty is how family like our groups operate and help each other out. We take our challenges seriously and come up with efficient, effective way to deliver power. We always take care of each other from a family perspective.

What are you most proud of in your career so far?

I am most proud of working on several different teams, especially Operation Toughen Up, in which we drove our reliability numbers to ensure we were driving to the best numbers in our industry.  

What are your goals for the next few months/years?

In the next few months, and years, I plan to help our teams drive towards even customer service and responses to outages to build the best team we can in future years.

Everyday is a growing opportunity and we are fortunate that Liberty allows us to work so closely with other internal groups to achieve life long career goals.
