CEO Melissa Jernigan

As CEO of Coastal Electrical Construction, a female, Native American owned business, I am fully aware of the challenges faced by our business partners. Being an owner of four businesses, I know what is required to be successful and how important it is to partner with others to achieve mutual success and profitability.

Equally important are the teams one must assemble. After all, operating a successful business requires a culture where teamwork is valued, diversity is welcome, customer service is expected, quality is second to none, and respect for everyone is a must. All of our employees are regarded as leaders and are expected to exemplify these and other values I know are essential to achieve our goals. These leadership traits are inherent in our officers, management team and employees. We work very hard to find great people who share our values and exhibit the leadership skills you deserve from a partner.

I believe strongly we have assembled one of the best teams in the electrical contracting world and offer you, our customer, all of the services you might need and whose values align with yours. Rest assured, you can count on us!
