From our headquarters in Iowa to job sites across the country, we’re doing award‑winning electrical, controls, automation, and OT work that powers industrial facilities for clients here in the U.S. and around the world. Whether you’re bending conduit, wiring panels, writing code, supporting projects, or helping things run behind the scenes, you’ll be part of a crew that works hard, shares laughs, and takes pride in doing quality work.

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. Apprentice electricians are the powerhouses behind our projects, while summer interns and new graduates kick off their careers as industrial electrical professionals. They work closely with journeyman electricians—seasoned experts who lead and mentor crews while completing complex projects.

Our journeyman electricians partner with field foremen and site superintendents to coordinate work and keep projects on track. Our I&E, service, and maintenance teams ensure project performance by installing, testing, troubleshooting, and calibrating equipment. Across roles, we champion safety and hold zero‑injury expectations.
