A DYNAMIC TEAM
We make it our mission to recruit and retain highly skilled and passionate individuals. Because we have a genuine respect for the talents and story of every member of our team, our culture attracts a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds to compose an eclectic and fun atmosphere. Each of our company’s products is bench-made and hand-finished at our 175,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Charleston, which houses the talented engineers, sales and marketing professionals, designers, and craftsmen who make up our team. We pride ourselves on manufacturing processes that secure the growth and sustainability of artisanal craft for the future by using modern techniques that enhance and refine the hand-build approach as opposed to replacing it.

A CARING CULTURE
While we are world-renowned for the way we take care of our clients, we are even more purposeful with how we care for each other. We love what we do, who we are, what we represent, and who we will become - and importantly, we thrive on the creative energy of a team that challenges and supports each other to achieve what's not thought possible. It's difficult for artisanal craft to exist let alone thrive in the modern era - but we like the hard stuff and believe it sets us apart. And within a caring environment where every one feels safe to strive and safe to fail, we believe our team achieves its very best.

UECO UNIVERSITY
To support our employees in their personal and professional growth, The Urban Electric Co. has a robust training program that we call UECo U. We believe strongly that the company benefits when the individual skills of our team members are enhanced. The UECo U Grant Program rewards employees for their contributions to the company. We believe that providing opportunities for employees to enrich their lives will add to their personal development and contribute to our aspirations of becoming the benchmark of the luxury lighting world.
