Prime Electric Named #1 Best Place To Work In Washington

by Riley Yale, Marketing Manager | Aug 21, 2026 | Articles, Awards

 

Prime Electric is proud to announce that we have been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Washington by the Puget Sound Business Journal (PSBJ) in the Extra Large Company category (500+ employees). Based on employee feedback, Prime earned the top ranking among large employers across the state, reflecting the people-first culture that has fueled our growth and success for decades

At Prime, we invest in our team members through health and wellness programs, career development opportunities, community involvement initiatives, employee resource groups, and programs that foster connection and support across the organization. From mentorship and education to scholarships, volunteer opportunities, and wellness events, we are committed to helping our people grow both personally and professionally.

“What makes Prime special is the way our employees look out for one another, embrace our values, and take pride in the work they do. We’ve built a culture centered on safety, growth, opportunity, and respect. Being recognized as the #1 Best Place to Work reinforces our commitment to putting people first.”

Oliver Whitehead

President, Prime Electric

Anonymos survey feedback from PBSJ highlights the impact of that commitment. One Prime team member shared how they entered the industry with little experience and quickly found opportunities to learn, grow, and build a successful career. Another highlighted the support she received as a working mother of a special-needs child while continuing to advance her career. Employees also consistently praised Prime’s commitment to safety and ensuring every team member returns Home Safe, Every Day.

 “This recognition is part of a larger story across Prime. From Best Places to Work honors in Sacramento and Portland to a Top 10 ranking in the Bay Area, these achievements reflect the strong culture our teams have built across every region. While each market is unique, our commitment to supporting our people remains the same. Of all our achievements during this period of growth, this one makes me the proudest because it comes directly from our team members.”

Bob Ledford

CEO, Prime Electric

Being named the #1 Best Place to Work in Washington is both an honor and a reflection of the culture our team members help create every day. As Prime continues to grow, we remain committed to investing in our people, strengthening our culture, and creating meaningful career opportunities. To every team member who shared feedback and helps make Prime an exceptional workplace, thank you.
