Photographer and Videographer

Overview

Who We Are At The Urban Electric Co., we recruit and retain highly skilled and passionate individuals. Our culture attracts a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds to create an eclectic and fun atmosphere. Each of our products is bench-made and hand-finished at our 180,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Charleston, which houses engineers, sales and marketing professionals, designers, and craftsmen. We pride ourselves on manufacturing processes that secure the growth and sustainability of artisanal craft for the future by using modern techniques that enhance the hand-build approach rather than replace it.
