Regional electrical distributor with field service and automation focus
United Electric is a 200+ person, employee-owned electrical distributor across Mid-Atlantic markets, running a lean operational stack (PLCs, ADP, Bluebeam, Office). Their active project list—scalable e-commerce, disaster recovery, lean initiatives, sales forecasting—signals a company moving from field-driven operations toward standardized processes and digital customer access. Hiring velocity is accelerating, weighted heavily toward operations and sales roles, with pain points clustered around inventory, product data accuracy, and lost/damaged shipments—classic friction points for distributors scaling beyond regional bounds.
United Electric Supply distributes electrical design, automation, and lighting products across Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. The company is 100% employee-owned and operates as a general line distributor with authorized Schneider Electric partnerships and factory-certified VFD technical capabilities. Current operational focus spans custom control panel design, retrofit upgrades, prefabrication services, and field-based sales support. The business is structured around operations and field sales, with emerging work on digital commerce infrastructure and inventory optimization.
Primary tools are PLCs, ADP (payroll/HR), Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), Microsoft 365, iPad, and Bluebeam (field markup software). No major cloud or SaaS migration activity is visible in adopting/replacing data.
