About Trail Mountain Electric

Employee-owned. Cedar City–headquartered. Built around master electricians who care what they leave behind.

Founded in Cedar City, Utah, Trail Mountain Electric is now an employee-owned, 47-licensed-electrician contractor serving all of Southern Utah, the Wasatch Front, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and Arizona. We've delivered hundreds of projects without a marketing department — because owners and GCs come back, and they refer.

Our story

From one truck in Cedar City to Southern Utah's trusted commercial and residential electrical partner.

Trail Mountain Electric started in Cedar City in 2008 with three master electricians and a clear thesis: Southern Utah and the Mountain West deserve an electrical contractor that treats every project — a $14,000 panel upgrade and a full commercial buildout alike — with the same project-controls discipline.

Eighteen years later, that thesis has produced a $640M+ commercial installed-value track record, a sub-0.78 EMR, four regional hubs (Cedar City headquarters, St. George, Salt Lake City, and Boise), and a service bench staffed 24/7/365 with master electricians, not an answering service. We're an employee-owned ESOP, which is why our turnover sits at half the industry average and why the same superintendent who started a project closes it.

We don't chase volume — we chase repeat business. Roughly 70% of our annual commercial revenue is repeat work with the same owners and GCs, and our talent pipeline runs through Southern Utah University, Utah Tech University, and the Utah and Idaho apprentice programs we've sponsored since 2014.

What we believe

Three values, no asterisks.

If a value isn't operational — if it doesn't show up in scheduling, hiring, or the way a crew leaves a panel — we don't claim it.

Safety is non-negotiable.

Every electrician is OSHA 30 certified and NFPA 70E qualified. Our EMR has been below 0.78 for four straight reporting years — top quartile nationally. We run monthly safety stand-downs and quarterly arc-flash refreshers without exception.

We self-perform.

100% of our feeder, branch, lighting, and life-safety work is done by W-2 electricians on our payroll. Subs only get involved for specialty engineering scope, and we manage them under our prime contract.

Documentation is part of the deliverable.

Owners receive a digital project binder at closeout: as-builts, panel schedules, arc-flash labels, commissioning records, and warranty registration. The same binder is the start of the maintenance history.

By the numbers

Eighteen years of measured outcomes — not marketing copy.

We track every project's schedule, cost, and safety. The numbers below come from our project-controls system, audited annually, and they're the same metrics we share with owners during preconstruction.
