We believe in building strong teams, doing the right thing, and making a difference in the communities where we live. If you want to grow and do meaningful work, you'll feel at home here.

From logistics to electrical work, everyone in the field plays a critical role in building, powering, and delivering success on a jobsite. Our logistics professionals keep construction moving by ensuring a steady flow of inventory. They bring attention to detail and strong organizational skills as they procure tools and materials for our electricians. Apprentice electricians are the powerhouses behind our most dynamic projects, while summer interns and new graduates kick off their careers as industrial electrical professionals.

These team members work closely with our journeyman electricians‑seasoned experts who lead and mentor crews while completing complex projects. Our journeyman electricians partner with field foremen and site superintendents, who coordinate work, manage risks, and keep projects on track through planning, motivation, and communication. Our I&E, service, and maintenance teams ensure project performance by installing, testing, troubleshooting, and calibrating equipment.

Across roles, we all champion safety‑empowering employees to lead as safety shareholders, uphold zero‑injury expectations, and care for our crews, company, and families.
