Electrical Construction Services in Southern California
With over 40 years of combined experience in working directly with Utilities on major substation construction projects, UPC brings unparalleled expertise to the table. Our ownership team has not only physically turned wrenches and wired relay racks but also estimated and managed multiple million-dollar projects. We have been involved in almost every major project for SC&M (SCE) over the past fifteen years, completing a wide range of tasks, from SAS upgrades and bank replacements to breaker change-outs, perimeter security upgrades, station rebuilds, and seismic projects.
Building a Skilled and Dedicated Workforce
At UPC, we understand that the employees in the field are the key to our company's success. That's why we are committed to hiring key individuals with extensive resumes to form our core group of employees. These individuals bring with them established relationships within the Western United States region, further enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional results. In addition to our union-experienced craft workers, we have also hired a QC manager and a Safety Director. Safety and quality are two areas where we hold ourselves to the highest standards.
Commitment to Safety and Collaboration
Safety is our top priority at UPC. Our ownership team has been directly involved in all safety forums for the past ten years, actively participating in discussions and sharing best practices. We believe that open dialogue and collaboration are essential in keeping our employees safe. In addition to quarterly safety forums, our ownership team has been invited to participate in various SC&M think tank groups, such as the Contractor Safety Checklist, Cost Breakdown improvements, and Self-Checking for Construction initiatives. We continuously strive to improve safety standards in the industry.
