Bill Long

VP, Information Technology at Barnhill Contracting Company, Inc.

Bill is responsible for all aspects of information technology across the company. He began his career at 15 years old in a family-owned fuel business where he worked his way up from stock boy to IT tech, auditor, operations manager, and then facilities manager with the responsibility of acquiring property and overseeing construction and state compliance for the petroleum side of the business. He later became managing partner and Chief Operating Officer of WebPoint IT Solutions, which was the Internet Service Provider for his first employer. He has spent the past twenty years managing the growth of that company, which became one of the largest outsourced technology companies in eastern North Carolina. In July 2016, Bill merged WebPoint into Infranet Technology where he continued to serve as a partner and Chief Operating Officer until joining Barnhill in July of 2021.

Bill also has a long family history with Barnhill. His mother worked for Barnhill for over twenty years and his father worked alongside many of the Barnhill team as well, working for the NC DOT for over 34 years. Bill believes strongly that technology should be a tool that complements great people, allowing them to do their jobs more efficiently instead of being a roadblock for productivity.
