Hubbell’s work touches nearly every part of our daily lives—from the power that lights our homes to the infrastructure that supports growing communities.

What sets Hubbell apart is how they approach change. They pay attention to where the world is headed and build accordingly. They stay close to their customers, listen to what’s needed, and create solutions built to last. That steady, responsive approach has kept them grounded, even as the industries around them shift.

So what keeps a 135-year-old company relevant today? It’s simple: they keep evolving.

Innovation With Purpose

Hubbell’s story starts in 1888 with an inventor named Harvey Hubbell II. He designed practical tools like the pull chain light socket and the first electrical plug—things we now take for granted. Hubbell’s story begins with invention, but it’s driven by something simpler: usefulness. From the beginning, the goal was to create things that made everyday systems work better. That approach still defines how the company thinks today.

Today, Hubbell’s footprint stretches across the country, with operations in Connecticut, Alabama, Missouri, New Jersey, and several other key regions. Their work continues to grow in both scale and scope, from long-standing electrical systems to emerging technologies like EV charging. As industries shift and infrastructure needs change, Hubbell stays focused on creating solutions that support the people, communities, and networks that rely on them every day.

Their updated mission reflects that shift: Electrify Economies. Energize Communities. It’s not a slogan. It’s a direction.

A Partner Focused on People

One of the things we appreciate most about Hubbell as a CareerCircle employment partner is that they invest in people.

They hire year-round. Their teams are made up of field service technicians, engineers, logistics pros, and more. And regardless of the job title, growth is always on the table. Employees have access to education, training, and the ability to move within the company to find a role that fits. Careers aren’t static here; they’re built over time and with intention.

Hubbell makes well-being a priority too and pays real attention to what employees need. That includes access to mental health resources, family support programs, and strong health benefits—but also a culture where people are encouraged to speak up about what they need. Employee feedback plays a real role in shaping the workplace, and the goal is clear: create an environment where people can show up, grow, and stay.

A Culture To Grow Your Career Now And Into The Future 

Hubbell puts care into how people are welcomed, supported, and developed across every stage of their careers. From onboarding to day-to-day work, there’s a clear focus on creating a workplace where people feel respected, valued, and included.

Programs that support equity, belonging, and employee voice are an active part of the culture. Employees are encouraged to speak up, share ideas, and contribute to shaping the environment around them. That consistency and openness help create a workplace where people feel connected to their teams and confident in their growth.

The result is a culture that feels intentional, people-first, and connected to the day-to-day experience of the team.

Open Roles, Real Opportunities

Hubbell continues to hire for essential roles across the country. These include opportunities in engineering, warehousing, field service, operations, and more. Each role plays a part in keeping systems running and communities connected.
