Mott Electric GP

What Mott Electric GP does

Mott Electric GP is a family-owned, full-service electrical contractor headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, operating continuously since its 1930 founding by William Malcolm Mott. The business is delivered through three integrated divisions: an Electrical Division handling commercial, industrial, institutional, healthcare, residential, data center, substation, and transit scopes; a Service Division providing 24/7 emergency response, preventive maintenance, electrical power analysis, EV charging (Tesla certified), fire alarm servicing, infrared thermography, and metering/submetering; and a Data/Telecom Division (Mott Telecom) operating as Western Canada's largest in-house fibre optic service provider, with FTTx design/build, structured cabling, voice and data cabling, and wireless infrastructure (LTE rooftop, small cells, mountain-top microwave). Differentiated technical capabilities include in-house fibre optics at scale, CSA Z32-compliant healthcare electrical work, infectious-control construction protocols, and design-build/design-assist project delivery across multi-discipline scopes.

The company monetizes primarily through fixed-price electrical construction contracts for large-scale projects (commercial towers, industrial facilities, hospitals, transit and port infrastructure, residential high-rises) alongside recurring service agreements and minimum two-hour call-out engagements for residential and small commercial customers. Pricing is quote-based for project work and unit-based for service dispatch, with no public disclosures on revenue, pricing benchmarks, or margins. Customers span BC Hydro, Deltaport/DP World, UBC, IKEA, Vancouver House, Marine Gateway, Brentwood Town Centre, Telus Gardens, Kinder Morgan, and numerous BC health authorities and school districts — a logo base spread across telecom, utilities, port/logistics, healthcare, education, real estate, energy, and hospitality.

Mott Electric operates from four Western Canada offices (Burnaby HQ on a 4-acre site, downtown Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary) with an active recruiting footprint across journeypersons, site supervisors, estimators, and project managers, supported by a Women in Trades Training Fund and IBEW-aligned workforce development. The company is multi-generationally family-led (William → Don Mott (1961) → Dan Mott (1986)), holds WorkSafeBC COR certification and Star Cor accreditation, and maintains a TsleilWaututh Nation MOU since 2012 as part of its Indigenous Partnerships program. No external investment, M&A, or public-market activity is referenced in available sources.
