Our Story
US Electric opened its doors in Seattle in 2017 and started as a couple of guys servicing a couple of vessels. Known for responsiveness, high quality work and engineering prowess, the company very quickly established itself as the premier Marine Electrical Service provider in the Pacific Northwest. Word in the industry spread quickly and the company grew rapidly.
Along the way, the company deliberately and methodically recruited more good electricians, giving it even more capacity to expand its scope up and down the West Coast. The company regularly services vessels in the key West Coast ports of Portland, San Franciso, Oakland, Long Beach, and Honolulu. Engineers from US Electric have even been tasked with jobs in China.
In the summer of 2022, the company brought in Chris Tarrach as CEO to scale it to the next level. What had started as a couple guys servicing a couple vessels had blossomed into a thriving business in need of a fully-built back office and executive leadership to manage it all. Key roles in Purchasing, Electrical Design, Finance and Program Management have been filled. More electricians with a wider skillset have been added to the team. The company has a solid foundation built and is poised for growth.
US Electric continues to be known for high-quality work and responsiveness. That reputation is hard-earned and is the result of executing at a high-level, one project at a time. That reputation traces back to the company’s roots in 2017 and it continues on today.
