Careers

"There are a variety of ways to get involved with volunteering here, such as the spring park cleanup. Hunt also hosts a health fair, which is a fun way to educate ourselves about additional company benefits. We also play on a local volleyball league, which was a great way to chat with, and get to know people I wouldn't have otherwise worked with in billing!"

"Hunt is a very family oriented company, we enjoy awesome benefits, from the great healthcare to the 401K/ESOP, all the way down to the cost-of-living increases offered. From top to bottom, everyone has a voice at Hunt, everyone has an opportunity to progress in their position and career, and that’s pretty cool considering we’re one of the nation’s largest and most successful electrical contractors. Plus, with us being an ESOP company, we really do all root for each other."

"As I continue to evolve and grow in the industry, change and challenges continue to present themselves with diverse projects.  Hunt continues to meet not only our customers needs, but potential future needs with our experience/diversity regarding different product lines, our project portfolio, and prefabrication experiences.  This coupled with the great people that work here and the relationships I’ve developed over the past 19 years keep me at Hunt Electric."

On a normal day, Ryan reviews projects for potential bidding and digs deeper to decide what to add to our bid board. Next, he works on take-offs of different systems and cross references them with their associated specs. This includes getting pricing from vendors and clarifying anything that might affect the price. That could mean a pre-bid walkthrough to verify routing of cabling, pathway, existing conditions, etc. From there, Ryan estimates the installation of the system as described on the drawings.

The next step is to work as a team to complete a project review of the scope and specifications so we can be competitive as possible. Then he writes the proposal, crosses his fingers, and hits submit!

After, Ryan follows up with the customers for results and feedback. If we are awarded the project, he completes an initial project setup for the project manager and reviews the scope with them so that they fully understand the project before construction begins.

"I think the best thing about our company culture is, even though Hunt is a bigger company no one in the company seems bigger than the company itself. Meaning from the people in the field and everyone in the office and warehouses they will all take the time to say "hi" and answer any questions or concerns, no matter who you are. It's a nice team atmosphere."

"What excites me about coming to work each day are the challenging and exciting projects I get to be a part of! Many of the projects I work on focus on empowering employees' growth and developing their knowledge, skills and capabilities to drive results. These projects include training initiatives, career pathing, personal and professional development, and coaching. I have a passion for helping maximum employee growth and development. Having the opportunity to focus on that daily and watching our employees grow and develop puts a huge smile on my face!"

"Working at Hunt has been amazing. Everyone is willing to help and support, this sets a good foundation for success and reflects the company culture. The management is very accessible, cooperative and respectful to the employees-this generates trust and a healthy work environment that I am happy to be a part of. Working with an amazing collaborative team in the VDC department gives me confidence and courage to take up and tackle any challenges on the job. I also love the package offered. Since Hunt is employee owned, it motivates me to work hard, and well all see the benefits from it. Overall, I have been very happy working here. If you are considering a job at Hunt - you won't regret it."

"During my career I’ve found it surprising how the field foreman are so welcoming and are great at explaining their work so someone who is not an electrician can understand.  They are also open to advice in regards to safety concerns I have had.  I feel like the best part though, is that we look out for one another at Hunt.  Most employees don’t feel the need to say “that’s not my job.”"

"I'm very appreciative of the opportunities that Hunt has given me to grow as an electrician, between given the opportunity to run work and having trust in me to helping the company build relationships with customers.  The company is always willing to help me grow and has never put extra pressure on me to be better or do anything that doesn't make sense, between the project managers and management, there is always a team that produces a plan that makes sense for everyone."

"My job as a VDC Team Manager is always bringing on new challenges, weather that be new software, prefab, modeling and coordination, you never know what is going to happen!  But what keeps me here?  The people I work with! Over the years I have been here I have made a lot of great friends that I hang out with outside of work going to Vikings games, golf, or happy hours."

"It's impressive how much the size of the company has grown over the last 10 years and I feel that it’s telling of the success and of the core values as they relate to the employees and customers.  It’s rewarding when you’re able to complete a project or a challenge one day at a time and part of Hunt’s culture is that everyone works hard to get the job done."

"The people at Hunt are the best part of coming to work each day.  They are kind and make me feel very welcome.  No matter what your job title is here, you feel like part of the team and your efforts are important to keep everything running smoothly.  Work/life balance is important to me and my supervisor respects the work that I do and knows I will complete what I need to do each day.  In return, I’m allowed reasonable flexibility with my schedule."
