Why ESCO is a Great Place to Work

At ESCO, we believe that great workplaces aren’t built by accident—they’re built by people. And with a growing number of employees, including union electricians and non-bargaining professionals, we’re proud of the culture we’ve created together: one rooted in commitment, opportunity, and a deep respect for the work we do.

Founded as a family-owned business, our roots run deep. ESCO has always valued relationships, craftsmanship, and community. Though we look a little different now than we did in 1964, those values still guide us today—but now, they’re shared more broadly than ever. Through our ESOP, every eligible employee is an owner. That’s not just a financial benefit—it’s a cultural shift. Ownership means we all have a stake in ESCO’s success. It means we show up with purpose, take pride in our work, and support each other.

ESCO is unique in its balance: our union electricians bring unmatched skill and dedication to the field, while our non-bargaining professionals drive innovation, strategy, and support across the business. Together, we form one team—united by shared goals and mutual respect. Whether you’re wiring a complex system or managing a project timeline, your contribution matters. And at ESCO, it’s recognized.

Our size allows us to be agile and personal. We’re big enough to offer meaningful career opportunities and benefits, yet small enough to know each other by name. ESCO is a place where collaboration is natural, and help is always within reach. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, backing one another through personal challenges, or engaging in community service, ESCO fosters an environment where employees feel valued and supported.

As its core, ESCO is about opportunity. It’s about giving every team member – regardless of the role they are in- a chance to build wealth, contribute meaningfully, and shape the future of our company.

ESCO isn’t just a company—it’s a community. And that’s what makes it a great place to work.
