Our Why (Our Purpose)

Bierlein Trombley Electric exists to raise the standard of the trades—by treating people with respect, doing every job with excellence, and building a place where hard work and humanity are the foundation. We’re here to serve our customers, grow our people, and do it all in a way that honors God, our families, and the values we were raised on.

This isn’t just a mission—it’s a movement. We’re building something bigger than ourselves. Something that changes lives, elevates the trades, and proves that character and craftsmanship belong together.

Supporting Beliefs & Guiding Principles Behind the Why

Supporting Beliefs & Guiding Principles Behind the Why
Our values define how we operate, how we lead, and how we serve. They guide every decision we make—on the job site, in the office, and in the community.
The Trades Are a Profession
We’re not here to blend in—we’re here to set a new bar. From how we show up to how we follow through, we aim to redefine what people expect from an electrician and from the trades as a whole.
People Deserve to Be Treated Like People
Customers, employees, and vendors all matter. We listen first, respond with respect, and treat every interaction as human. No one is just a number here.
We Lead from Experience, Not Ego
We haven’t forgotten what it’s like to be in the field. We build a culture where employees feel supported and challenged to grow, coaching from the field up with humility, transparency, and accountability.
We Do It the Right Way—Even When It’s Hard
Our faith is part of who we are and it guides the decisions we make. Not in a loud or preachy way, but in how we lead, how we serve, and how we show up when no one’s watching. We fix mistakes fast, own our mistakes, and learn publicly.
Quality and Safety Are Non-Negotiable
SOPs are real and followed. We measure daily, share close calls, and use technology to remove gray areas and prevent rework.
Open the Books, Share the Wins
Numbers are visible. Scoreboards drive action. Gain share rewards the team when the company wins.
Success Is a Tool for Impact
We use success to create opportunity: clear career paths, ownership options, and a culture that proves the trades can be the best career in America.
Serve Our Community Generously
We invest in youth, schools, sports, families, and local businesses—modeling what good looks like.
Win Together, Have Fun
We are a performance-based company. We celebrate progress, play mini-games, and make winning a team sport.
Never Compromise Our Values
We don’t chase low-bid work, hide financials, or sell out our beliefs. We focus on repeat customers who value trust and quality.
