Electrical infrastructure contractor serving transmission, distribution, and industrial clients across mid-US regions
New River Electrical is a 70-year-old electrical contracting firm operating across substation construction, overhead and underground transmission, and industrial work. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-centric (Office, 365, PowerShell, Active Directory), revealing a traditionally operations-driven org rather than a tech-forward one. Hiring velocity is accelerating across construction and ops roles, while internal projects cluster around bid pricing accuracy, compliance tracking, and project scheduling—pain points typical of field-service businesses managing complex, multi-site execution.
Notable leadership hires: Technical Services Director

With 1,001–5,000 employees and self-owned structure, the org is currently scaling construction and operations capacity while addressing operational challenges around project scheduling, bid accuracy, equipment utilization, and regulatory compliance.
Primary stack: Microsoft Office, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, PowerShell, Windows, LinkedIn, Vista, and Smartsheet. No modern cloud or automation tooling in current use.
