Home / News & Insights / Veteran Terrell Woods: Driving Success in Challenging Projects
Terrell Woods grew up as an Air Force brat and followed his father into the service after graduating from high school in Sumter, South Carolina.
He spent his three years of service in the Security Forces, the Air Force’s law enforcement branch, in England and Colorado before transitioning back to civilian life in 1984 in Arizona. Initially, Wood had plans to continue in law enforcement. But the drug trade across the border was exploding.
“You either cooperated with the bad guys or were killed,” Woods said.
Instead, Woods studied management at Tucson College of Business and went into construction. He started with residential and transitioned to commercial, working on wastewater and food processing projects. He became a project superintendent in 1994.
Throughout his career in construction, Woods has worked on a variety of projects, including a new JEA plant in Jacksonville, Florida, industrial wastewater projects and numerous food and beverage manufacturing facilities.
One project he enjoyed because it was “different” was an underwater concrete restoration project in the Tampa area.
“There were fish the size of a Volkswagen, and a power plant a half mile east meant the water was always warm,” he said.
Woods worked for Haskell in the 1990s, and since rejoining the team in 2021, he has been focused primarily on projects in the food and beverage markets. Recently, he teamed with Project Manager Taylor Cychowski on a design-build project for a large candymaker.
“He was great. He formed relations with all the subs and was usually out in the field, making sure everyone was following the drawings, installing details properly, finishing their tasks,” Cychowski said.
The project involved building an 12,000-square-foot room inside a million-square-foot warehouse. The room conditions are 104 degrees of heat and 70% humidity for the manufacturing process.
“We were on the same page on things,” Cychowski said. “We thought the same about a lot of stuff. We worked hand in hand really well. We worked well with the foremen and other superintendents. And he had a great relationship with the owner.”
Woods and his wife, Betsy, live in Sarasota. When he’s not working, Woods said he plays with his six grandkids and cheers on the Dallas Cowboys.
Woods is currently the project superintendent on an expansion project in San Antonio for a regional grocery store chain. He said he enjoys Haskell’s culture, which relies on collaboration and centers on taking the client’s goal as its own.
“I like the team atmosphere,” he said. “Working at Haskell involves working closer with the design team. Trusting others to handle their roles and being able to stay ahead of the project’s scope is what makes a true leader. We solve things with a team. We find ways to make projects work.”
