Forbes Bros. Group of Companies is a North American utility construction contractor specializing in transmission, distribution, substation, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Since 1977, we have grown from a regional contractor into one of the largest privately held power infrastructure contractors in North America, supporting clients across Canada and the United States through complex utility construction and field execution.
Our operations are built around construction delivery. With a large internally owned fleet, specialized transmission equipment, dedicated field mechanics, and experienced project teams, we are structured to execute demanding work safely, efficiently, and at scale.
Today, Forbes Bros. delivers complex transmission, distribution, and substation projects alongside recurring utility maintenance and emergency response work across diverse operating environments. Our teams work in urban centers, remote locations, energized systems, and critical infrastructure corridors where adaptability, execution, and reliability are essential.
As demand for North American power infrastructure continues to grow, we continue to invest in our people, operational capability, and long-term execution capacity across both Canada and the United States.
