Salida, Colorado · Senior Technical Solutions & Strategic Advisor

Hold light. Move with purpose.

LightworkX takes on the systems that keep places running: power, safety, sites and the companies behind them. We start with a diagnosis, put the decision in writing, and build what can be delivered now.

What we take on

Pick what you're facing

Each line of work opens the same way: a defined first step, a written deliverable, and the licensed trades we bring in where the work calls for them.

How an engagement runs

Diagnose, decide, deliver

Step 1

Diagnose

Baseline before solution. We measure what exists, change one variable at a time, and lock the data we need before anyone travels or spends.

Step 2

Decide

You get written findings and a decision framework with the options, the costs, and what each one commits you to. No verbal blessings on site.

Step 3

Deliver

We build, manage or hand off. Existing incentive and funding programs get used in full, and every dollar is stewarded like it's scarce.

Principal

Chad Armstrong

Senior Technical Solutions & Strategic Advisor

A sleeves-up operator: strategy and team leadership welded to hands-on execution. Chad turns complex technology into differentiated, mission-aligned value, with more than 27 years across technical development, fabrication and growth leadership.

For two decades he has led delivery of mission-critical, defense and hospital primary and N+1 backup systems. He leads the strategy and the teams, and engages and directs the licensed professionals who stamp the work. He is on the floor with them, tools in hand, safety first through the actual build.

He chairs the Facility & Safety Committee for the Boys & Girls Club of Chaffee County and serves as Technical Director for Junior Edison, a youth STEM program teaching weekly at the club in Salida.
