Our Story

Justin and Melony Mills founded Rocky Mountain Electric in November 2004 with the mission of providing exceptional electrical contracting services to business owners and residents here in the Gallatin Valley. Montana licensed, insured, and bonded electrical contracting company, Rocky Mountain has expanded its service base from its main office in Bozeman, MT, serving the Gallatin Valley and all the surrounding areas in Southwest Montana.  This includes an electrical contracting division in Big Timber.

In September of 2005 we hired our first 2 employees, Steve Plagmann & Dustin Helvik.  Both Steve and Dustin still work with RME today and have been a big part of the success of the company.  Steve is a Senior Project Manager and Vice President of RME.  Dustin is one of our 2 Field Superintendents.  His duties include Quality Control, serving as a project foreman, and training apprentices.  

Over the years we have added other key employees that have helped the growth of the company.  Tim Conatser is a Senior Project Manager/Estimator and leads our commercial division.  Tim has been an essential part of RME since 2013.  Tammie Major has been our office manager since 2012.  Her thoroughness paired with honesty and dedication to RME have made her an essential part of our team. 

Our success is simple.  We focus on people.  People being our customers and our employees.  Keeping customers happy is not as complicated as people make it.  If we show up when we are scheduled to, are personable, do quality & professional work, & do it for an honest price, people want to use RME again.  If we hire people based on their personality traits, such as a good work ethic, common sense, a good attitude, honesty, then we can develop them into a good electrician.  If we create a culture where we prove we care about our employees, by providing the best pay and benefits possible in a safe working environment, then our employees should be happy to come to work.  If we have employees that have these good personality traits then they should enjoy working with each other.  We want to create the best working environment possible.

We also recognize any flaws that we may have in our systems.  The only way we can make improvement is by holding ourselves accountable and when we make an error, standing behind our work, correcting it, and making sure we don’t repeat it.  A quality product comes from constantly seeking to improve, not pretending there is no need for improvement.  We appreciate the confidence our customers and employees put in RME.
