Women-Owned Union Electrical Contractor
We’re Setting New Standards in Electrical Construction
Our Story
In 2014, Rachel Struthers started Key Electrical Construction as a procurement company. Her peers told her no over 50 times and told her to give up.
General contractors kept telling her, "You need to become an electrical contractor." She had no interest at first. But after hearing from every General contractor, she reconsidered.
Rachel teamed up with Ruby, who had her signing supervisor card and in 2017 she was able to partner with OEG on Key Electrical’s first project at OHSU.
Together, they transformed Key Electrical Construction into a union electrical contracting company.
Becoming the first woman-owned and operated union shop at their local union.
