Leadership

NUCA Chapter President Marshall Sampson

Marshall Sampson currently serves as board president for the NUCA Chapter of Eastern WA & North ID. Marshall has been in the underground utility industry for roughly 20 years. After gaining valuable industry experience at Halme Construction, Marshall founded Inland Infrastructure in 2021 and has quickly become one of the premier contractors in the Inland Northwest . Marshall takes great pride in his work as a construction project manager of many complex infrastructure projects throughout the Inland Northwest. Specializing in water, storm water, and wastewater utility, along with structural concrete and street improvements, has allowed him the opportunity to develop a diverse reputation of delivering locally significant projects, on schedule, and under budget.

In striving to create an extensive history of safe, innovative, and profitable projects, Marshall has learned that planning, expertise, and hard work come second only to the relationships and teams that materialize from a successful project.

Marshall and the Inland Infrastructure team joined NUCA of Eastern WA & North ID in 2022 and have brought new ideas and energy to the association. Marshall feels the value NUCA brings to his business is extensive safety and leadership training, networking opportunities, and most importantly, workforce development.
