About Sundancer Electric Inc.

Who We Are

Experience

Founded in 2012, Sundancer Electric has grown from a small startup into a trusted contractor delivering work on complex, high-profile projects across the region. We specialize in commercial, industrial, and heavy infrastructure environments, building a reputation for delivering solutions that demand a high level of expertise, precision, and professionalism.

Founder Buzz Desjarlais, a U.S. Army veteran, established the company on hard work, resilience, and a commitment to doing things the right way. From humble beginnings, personally backing the company’s early growth, he has built Sundancer into a respected electrical and general contractor supported by a highly experienced team of field leaders, managers, and estimators.
​​​​​​​
Today, our leadership and staff bring decades of hands-on experience, with many individuals exceeding 20 years in the industry. This depth of knowledge and continued growth positions us to scale with our clients, take on increasingly complex work, and deliver consistent, high-quality results.

Company

Sundancer Electric is a growing electrical and general contractor delivering complex public and private infrastructure projects across the region. Licensed in Washington, California, Alaska, Montana, and Oregon, we continue to expand our capabilities to meet increasing demand and take on larger, more complex work.
​​​​​​​
Since our founding in 2012, we have grown from a small startup into a company supported by a strong team of field leaders, managers, and office staff. This growth is driven by a commitment to accountability, execution, and building lasting relationships with our clients.
​​​​​​​
As we continue to scale, we remain focused on investing in our people, strengthening our operations, and delivering consistent, high-quality results.

Processes

Sundancer Electric continuously invests in technology to improve efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration across both office and field operations. Our teams coordinate closely with project managers, prime contractors, and owners using modern project management platforms that support real-time communication and execution in the field.
We utilize Trimble Construction solutions alongside Trimble Spectrum for accounting and financial management, ensuring accurate reporting, cost control, and timely project delivery. Our estimating team leverages McCormick Systems to drive precision and consistency in project pricing, while our CAD and BIM capabilities support project-specific design and coordination requirements.

Safety is embedded in our planning, field execution, and operational standards, driving accountability, consistency, and risk awareness across every phase of our work.
​​​​​​​
These systems and practices represent a strategic investment in our operations, enabling us to deliver predictable, high-quality results and superior service to our clients.
