Meet Alicia Cherrington, a dedicated Project Manager at Vector Engineers specializing in solar projects. Based in Draper, Utah, Alicia has been an essential part of the Vector team since August 2020.
Originally from Flower Mound, Texas, Alicia earned her B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Brigham Young University and holds an EIT certification from NCEES. She first joined Vector as an undergraduate intern and quickly realized it was the right fit for her professional growth.
“After starting at Vector, I quickly realized it was the right place for me. The leadership team has invested in my success—not just as an engineer, but as a team member and an individual. They’ve supported my professional goals while also understanding the importance of work-life balance with a young family. I’m incredibly grateful for that flexibility, and I love working for Vector.”
Engineering Excellence in Solar
Alicia works on a variety of solar projects, from ground mounts to point loads to commercial and residential solar analyses. Recently, she played a pivotal role in the Solaire Rooted Homes project, which required 22 custom structural letters for different buildings within an apartment complex.
“It was a lot of detailed work, but everything went smoothly. I’m really proud of how it turned out.”
Her ability to balance precision and efficiency makes her a valuable team member in Vector’s fast-paced solar division, ensuring projects are completed with accuracy and speed.
Passions Beyond Engineering
Outside of work, Alicia is an avid runner and has completed three half marathons. She loves learning new skills, diving into different projects, and spending time with her family.
She and her husband are huge NBA fans, frequently cheering on the Utah Jazz at games. But her biggest joy is her family—she’s a proud mom to Sofia (2.5) and Nathan (10 months).
And if you’re looking for a book recommendation? Alicia is the one to ask! She read over 50 books last year and never leaves home without her Kindle.
Alicia’s journey from intern to project manager is a testament to Vector’s commitment to mentorship and professional development. Her expertise, dedication, and enthusiasm for engineering continue to shape Vector’s success in the solar sector.
We’re lucky to have Alicia on our team!
