Design-build utility infrastructure contractor across the West Coast
Charge EPC is a West Coast utility infrastructure contractor operating four specialized subsidiaries (directional drilling, pipeline, power infrastructure, and excavation). The tech stack is lean and field-focused—AutoCAD, GIS, Viewpoint (construction management), Oracle Primavera (project controls), and Power BI—reflecting a capital-intensive, project-delivery business. Safety dominance across their active project list (job-site investigations, incident tracking, audits, policy development) signals either a recent incident or intentional organizational shift toward risk reduction; budget and schedule monitoring appears underdeveloped relative to safety maturity.
Charge EPC is a design-build construction provider serving utility infrastructure projects along the West Coast, including electric distribution, gas distribution, horizontal directional drilling, and civil line construction. The company operates through four operating entities—Accu-Bore Directional, Veteran Power Infrastructure, Veteran Pipeline Construction, and Extreme Excavating Company—and is designated a DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise). With 201–500 employees based in Sacramento, the organization manages concurrent design and construction projects. Current hiring is steady with mid-level and junior engineers and construction professionals, suggesting growth within delivery teams rather than leadership expansion.
Charge EPC uses Oracle Primavera for project controls and scheduling, Viewpoint for construction management, and Power BI for reporting and analytics.
Current projects focus heavily on safety: job-site accident investigations, incident reporting and corrective action tracking, safety audits, employee safety program development, and safety policy development.
