Scott Denton

Scott started his career in the mechanical contracting industry as a plumbing apprentice in 2006. A year later, he joined Lisi Mechanical and became a foreperson in 2009. With extensive experience in large-scale projects focused on mechanical and hydronic systems, he transitioned to his current role as a Construction Supervisor in 2017.

Scott joined the NextGen Board to lead and advocate for industry-wide challenges, especially challenges related to high-rise construction. “I’ve been seeing the same obstacles on all of our job sites for years.” As a Board Director, Scott will bring awareness to the challenges facing the mechanical contracting industry and advocate for broader changes that move the industry forward.

For the younger generation wanting to enter the industry, Scott emphasizes the importance of attitude and effort: “What you’ll get out of [any] trade is what you put in. Extra effort and a good attitude can get you ahead on the field.”

For Scott, showing dedication and a willingness to learn are key to unlocking opportunities for career growth and success in the trades.

Scott has a young family and enjoys skiing and mountain biking. Growing up, he played soccer and baseball. He credits his history in playing team sports as key for collaboration on the field.
