About Us:

In the early 1960s, the Asplundh Service Co. was established as a subsidiary of the Asplundh Tree Expert Co. to perform underground electric and telephone cable work. Over time, this work transitioned back into the Tree Co. until 1990 when a fast-growing utility construction company, B & J Maintenance, was acquired.  Based on Long Island, New York, this operation expanded Asplundh’s capabilities in overhead and underground electric, as well as gas, construction, and maintenance services.

To take advantage of Asplundh’s name recognition in the utility industry, the name was changed to Asplundh Construction, Corp. in 1992. Operations soon expanded into Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, and then all the way to the West Coast.

In 2004, Asplundh Construction became part of UtiliCon Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asplundh, which primarily focuses on providing electric and gas infrastructure (non-vegetation management) services.  The UtiliCon family of companies employs over 4,000 people and maintains a fleet of 4,400 specialized vehicles and equipment to serve the project needs of investor-owned, cooperative, and municipal utilities, as well as public agencies.

Individuals must be able to perform the essential functions of the position with or without reasonable accommodation.  Individuals with a disability who desire a reasonable accommodation should contact the ADA Coordinator at 1-800-248-8733, ext. 1339.
