Charging Ahead with Automation & Electronics

For nearly 70 years, A&E has kept the lights on and the lines running for commercial and industrial clients across the country. What started in 1956 as a small Wyoming electrical shop has grown into a multi-state design-and-build contractor serving oil & gas, power generation, renewables, water/wastewater, chemical, mining, and data center clients — without losing the hands-on, do-it-right culture that built our reputation. Our crews work alongside licensed professional engineers and certified electricians, so every job gets done safely, on code, and built to last.
