Culture

Our culture
EMPOWERS OUR PEOPLE

At the heart of our culture is servant leadership, which transcends everything we do. Servant leadership is the philosophy that one cannot lead alone, but must also mentor and serve others. Our commitment to servant leadership has been the key to our success and assures our future. It is the cornerstone of our company that shapes who we are by instilling:

  • a spirit for entrepreneurship that empowers our people to lead.

  • a priority for the wellbeing of our people and our customers.

  • a sense of ownership in the quality of services we deliver.

  • a dedication to ethical business practices and operations.

  • a commitment to continued education of our employees.

  • a responsibility to satisfy our customers with our service.

Employee ownership
PUTS THE FUTURE IN OUR HANDS

In 1990, as Dick Pieper planned for his eventual transition from the business, he had one main goal: To ensure the future of PPC Partners as a company guided by the principles of ethical behavior, progressive practices, and growth for its people.

The solution: Turn the company over to the very people who knew the company best and believed in it most — its employees.

Our hard work
IS DRIVEN EACH
DAY BY OWNING
OUR FUTURE.

CarolinaPower is unique in our industry as an employee-owned electrical contracting company. Offering stock to eligible employees, our Employee Ownership Program offers great financial benefit to employees which translates to our customers. As owners, our employees are invested in our business—they’re more engaged in what they do and where our company is going. Pride in ownership fosters an entrepreneurial spirit and personal responsibility for the ongoing success of the organization.

Our family atmosphere CREATES A FUN & VIBRANT WORKPLACE

At CarolinaPower, we’re family. Together we laugh, learn, innovate and solve challenges that make a difference for our customers, and each other.

We’re a company focused on safety, culture, people—and strive to foster a workplace that is stimulating, inclusive and fun. We were founded as a family business and that family atmosphere still remains today. The family atmosphere isn’t just felt in the company sports teams, potlucks, and holiday events, but in the care for each other in and outside of the workplace. This means pushing each other to be better, to learn more, and to hold each other accountable for success. We strive to provide opportunities that enable our employees to connect with each other and build a stronger sense of team.
