lectrical contractor JMEG, LP opened its San Antonio office in 2004, just two years after Jerry Mills, Ray Naizer, Russell Ferraro and Gary Fraser started the company. Today, the branch has more than 70 employees, ranging at times as high as 100. Fraser and Ferraro were working for a publicly traded company when it went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The two then joined Mills and Naizer to form JMEG. Though JMEG also has offices in Dallas and Austin, Fraser emphasizes that the company built its foundation in each city from the ground up. “There’s very little customer carry over from one market [to another],” explains Fraser, San Antonio division manager. “So, we have to establish ourselves as a full-service provider in each one of our locations, and our customer base is different at each location. We still pursue some of the same types of work in all three of our locations, but we certainly
have to establish relationships with a different customer base.” In San Antonio, JMEG’s market sector is primarily commercial and light industrial. The office also has a facilities and service group. Most of the facilities work is for end user and is on specific sites, such as the Toyota plant. On the contracting side, JMEG recently started on the new Security Service Federal Credit Union corporate campus. Other leaders in the San Antonio office include Alex Rivas, chief estimator, and J.R. Lopez, who oversees the facilities and service group. Wayne Gauntt is operations manager, and he is active in the Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) San Antonio Chapter, where JMEG has members on the board and a barbecue team that participates in the annual cook-off. JMEG, LP is an electrical contractor based in Dallas. The San Antonio branch is a full-service, self-contained office. –mh
