ATI Restoration (ATI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Norm Escover as General Counsel. With over 30 years of legal and operational experience across the construction, energy, and industrial sectors, Norm brings exceptional expertise to support ATI’s strategic growth and commitment to operational excellence.

Before joining ATI, Norm served in multiple executive roles at NAES Corporation, including General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and most recently, President and CEO. Over his tenure, he was instrumental in NAES Corporation’s substantial growth, expanding revenue from $480 million to over $900 million, while overseeing complex legal challenges and completing several acquisitions. NAES Corporation, a leader in operations, maintenance, and engineering services for power, energy, and industrial clients, benefited significantly from Norm’s leadership in risk management, contract negotiation, operational improvements and M&A transactions.

Norm’s career also includes his role as General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, and COO at Kinetic Systems, Inc., where he managed legal and operational functions for a process mechanical contractor and equipment supplier in the semiconductor, biotechnology, solar, and industrial markets. Additionally, he served as Assistant General Counsel at Dillingham Construction Corporation, where he handled legal matters for a $1.2 billion international general contractor. Prior to his legal roles, Norm spent several years as an engineer working as a Project Manager for structural engineering firms. 

"We are thrilled to welcome Norm Escover to the ATI family," said David Carpenter, Chief Executive Officer of ATI. "His vast experience and proven leadership in both legal and operational capacities will be invaluable as we continue to expand and strengthen our position in the industry." 

Norm holds a Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering from California Polytechnic State University. He is licensed to practice law in California, Nevada, and Washington, and is also a licensed Professional Engineer.

In his role as General Counsel at ATI, Norm will oversee all legal matters and provide strategic guidance to ensure ATI’s compliance and success in a rapidly evolving industry.
