Reliance Electric

What Reliance Electric does

Reliance Electric is a private, nationwide electrical contracting firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. The company provides full-scope licensed electrical services — new-construction wiring, telecommunications and low-voltage systems (network cabling, fire alarm, security, CCTV), generator and power-quality work, and design-assist collaboration — for commercial construction projects whose electrical scope exceeds $2 million. Service is organized into five lines: Electrical Contracting Services, Communications Technology Services, Specialized Services, Design Assist, and Data Center Electrical Services.

The company operates a "Traveling Electricians™" deployment model, with licensed and bonded field teams that can run multiple simultaneous large projects across the contiguous 48 states. Reliance maintains a multi-state licensure operation (team members hold Journeyman or Master Electrician licenses in 10+ states), supported by an in-house Apprenticeship Program, a dedicated Education & Licensing Director, and an OSHA-authorized Safety Director. A four-office footprint (Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Montana) anchors a distributed execution capability, while projects span hospitality (Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Choice, Hyatt), senior living and multifamily, resort/casino, and specialty data center work.

Commercial model is project-based and relationship-driven: Reliance sells through direct engagement with general contractors (e.g., Brinkman Construction) and engineering partners (e.g., DC Engineering), with multi-year repeat engagements producing one-time, contract-priced scopes. Pricing is custom-quoted per project based on scope, complexity, and geography; revenue, headcount, and project count are not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with management/founder-style ownership led by CEO Nephi Allred (25+ years tenure) and a professionalized executive team including CFO Steve Koscik, COO Ryan Kimball, Chief Estimator Kirk Petry, and Chief of Staff Margarita Terrell.
