CNUC In The Community

CNUC believes in giving back to the communities we serve and the environment we all share. We are only as successful as the communities we partner with, which is why we prioritize community involvement, giving back, and volunteerism for our team.

Our Role
Our job is to help utility companies manage trees, brush, and vines along utility corridors. This means spending time in the field providing assessments of nearby vegetation and taking action to provide vegetation maintenance work that ensures safe and reliable electric and gas services for the community.

How it Benefits You
We know that disruptions in electrical and gas services can interrupt your life, so we prioritize ensuring vegetation does not cause outages.

Our Start

Founded in 1999, CNUC has spent the last two decades providing excellent UVM consulting services and establishing ourselves as industry experts on utility vegetation-related issues, practices, standards and requirements. CNUC became a part of the Wright Service Corp. family of companies in 2007. In 2010, we began providing full-time utility foresters to clients. The history has established a strong foundation for our continued growth and success.

ESOP

CNUC has been proudly, 100% employee-owned company since we joined the Wright Service Corp. family of companies in 2007. Our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is designed to assist our employees with their retirement and provide them with a financial stake in our company. At all levels of the company, you will be working with employee owners – individuals who are invested in the success of the company and the quality of service we deliver.
