Charlie J. Meyer, Executive Vice President

Charlie started his electrical journey in 1964 by working in the motor shop at C&H Electric.

In 1965, Charlie began his apprenticeship and worked as a journeyman for C&H.

In 1969, the U.S. Military requested his services. While in the U.S. Army, Charlie worked as an electrician and was involved in numerous electrical projects in California and Vietnam. When he completed his tour of duty, Charlie returned to work at C&H Electric.

In 1973, when Hardt Electric was founded, Charlie was asked to join the team. He immediately began running Hardt's largest projects. As Hardt grew, Charlie was the best person to come into the office and help with the estimating and sales duties. Having an excellent rapport with the electricians and a vast knowledge of electrical systems and designs, Charlie has been a corner stone for Hardt's success over the last 30 years. Currently, he serves as Hardt's Executive Vice President.

Charlie is an active member in the Chicago Electrical Estimators Association, where he served as president from 1991 to 1992. He is also a member of the International Association of Electrical Inspectors.
