About the Speaker 

Sandi Hemmingsen has worked in the electric power utility industry for almost 26 years and has her PMP certification from PMI.  

Currently, she is a Project Manager level IV with New Generation Construction at APS with three large projects.  One to add inlet air chilling to existing generating units at two sites; one to add new generating units to meet forecasted load demand, and one to add a large microgrid for a major APS customer.  

She started her utility career as an operator of a nuclear plant in South Carolina, obtaining her Senior Reactor Operator License in 2000.  She held several positions of increasing responsibility both in Operations and in Work Management/Projects before taking a detour and renovating and owning a small-town bookstore.  After the detour, she worked on four projects that replaced low pressure turbines at 2 different nuclear plants in the southeast (one single unit site and one 3-unit site).  She joined APS in July 2023.
