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.

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.
