Representing Oregon & SW Washington
Northwest Utility Contractors Association is a nonprofit trade association that represents Oregon and Southwest Washington. Our primary purpose is to represent the best interests of contractors engaged in the construction of utility lines, excavation, site work, and trenchless technology, and associate members that support the industry.
Our mission is to preserve the identity and common interests of the utility contracting industry; promote better relations between utility contractors and governmental agencies, general contractors, labor, engineers and the public at large; foster, encourage and maintain safety standards; represent the common interests of utility contractors at national, state and local levels; and to engage in research to aid the utility contracting industry.

Save the date: May 16–17, 2026.
