United Utility Services Tech Stack

Specialty contractor for transmission, substation, and distribution power infrastructure

Utility System Construction Charlotte, North Carolina 1,001–5,000 employees Privately Held

United Utility Services operates as a holding company for eight utility contracting firms serving the full lifecycle of power grid work—from engineering and construction through live-line maintenance and storm response. The tech stack reveals a dual maturity: mature project management and field-execution systems (Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Maximo, SafetyCulture, Fleetio) paired with a newer data-infrastructure layer (dbt, Airbyte, Fivetran, Dagster, Apache Airflow, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric). This combination suggests ongoing investment in operational visibility and safety compliance automation, with engineering hiring significantly outpacing data and ops roles, indicating field execution remains the core constraint.
