It's What We Do:
The Signal Group is a diverse specialty electrical contracting firm. We perform a variety of work related to traffic and transportation while specializing singularly in a unique class of electrical construction work for the civil heavy highway construction industry. In the last 2 decades we have played a vital role in the construction of some of Southeast Florida’s most notable and robust transportation infrastructure projects.
Something To Be Proud Of:
My parents started the Signal Construction Company in Jacksonville Florida back in the late 1960’s. My father, Don Copeland Sr. decided that they would relocate the family and the business to a sleepy little town in northern Palm Beach County in 1971. Although we have changed our name to The Signal Group, years later we remain headquartered in Jupiter, Florida. We have yet to stray very far from the core business principals of our founders.
We’ve Grown:
We’ve grown, thanks to a bountiful industry with unprecedented opportunity as well as the faith, dedication and hard work of our employees. Today, our enviable client list reads like a who’s who of the construction industry. Our employee group is comprised of 160 men and women, working out of our branch office operations in Melbourne, Fort Pierce, Jupiter, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
It’s What We Think Is Important:
Our company’s #1 initiative; is to promote and enhance its existing culture, so we naturally attract and recruit the very best employees and clients. This practice enables us to develop and to deploy the most qualified and consistently productive workforce possible.
We are always working on ways to improve upon our strengths and grow into new markets with assurance, without sacrificing margins, quality of work or jeopardizing the safety of our employees.
So, today we‘re a turn-key operation, bidding large and small projects independently. We bid competently and we aggressively pursue work. We understand a thing or two about the competitive markets and what it takes to “get a job” these days. Whether we are tackling a prime opportunity, submitting to an owner, a lead contributor to a select design build team, or assuming a subordinate role, The Signal Group has remarkably well qualified personnel, an abundance of resources, the financial strength and the capacity to perform. We have the best, most capably trained men and women in the industry.
