What Wasatch Electric does

Wasatch Electric is a full-service electrical contractor founded in 1919 and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), structured as a division of Dynalectric Company. Headquartered at 9128 S Jones Ranch Drive, West Jordan, Utah, the company delivers electrical design-build, installation, maintenance, repair, and retrofit services across commercial, industrial, healthcare, government/defense, mission-critical/data center, power & utility, and hospitality end markets in the Western United States. Service delivery is organized into five divisions: Commercial, Industrial, Power & Utility Services, Comtech Services (low-voltage/structured cabling), and Service and Special Projects, supported by an in-house 28,805-square-foot prefabrication facility and Autodesk Revit-based Building Information Modeling capabilities.

The technology stack centers on BIM coordination for clash detection and prefabrication planning, RCDD- and BICSI-certified network design staff, and transmission/distribution capability up to 500kV including helicopter-based live-line work. Notable credentials include work on Hill Air Force Base (classified security systems, 46kV distribution), the Utah State Correctional Facility (~1.3M sq ft), BioFire's 305,049 sq ft manufacturing plant, Montage Resort (12,000-amp service), the Stadler Rail 230,000 sq ft facility, and a switchyard/substation for the Strauss Windfarm Project. The company has expanded into renewables (solar, battery storage, EV charging, micro-grids) and maintains a 24/7 emergency service fleet.

The business model is project-based and relationship-driven: revenue is generated through competitive bids, design-build proposals, guaranteed maximum price contracts, and open-book audit agreements with commercial and industrial clients, complemented by recurring site-based maintenance and emergency-response service contracts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales led by a VP of Business Development, with no third-party channel partners. Wasatch Electric itself does not publicly disclose standalone revenue, operating as a division within EMCOR Group's portfolio of 80+ operating companies; the parent provides bonding capacity, cross-region references, and shared resources that materially de-risk Wasatch's bidding profile.

Product overview

Wasatch Electric is a full-service electrical contractor founded in 1919, providing comprehensive electrical design-build, installation, maintenance, repair, and retrofit services.

The company serves commercial, industrial, and mission-critical markets through distinct service lines covering the full project lifecycle from initial design through post-construction maintenance. Specialized divisions include Mission Critical (data centers), Power & Utilities (transmission/distribution up to 500KV), Industrial services, Renewables and Energy Solutions (solar, EV charging, battery storage), and Telecom/IT/Low-Voltage Utilities. Additional services encompass Fire Alarm & Security, Site-Based Maintenance, Specialty Projects, Tenant Build-Outs and Renovations, and Riser Management. The company operates a 28,805-square-foot prefabrication facility and maintains in-house BIM capabilities using Autodesk Revit.
