Meet the CEO Founder & Operator’s
Kevin Daniel Byrne is not a desk-trained electrician or a contractor who learned the trade from behind a computer screen. He came up through the field, earning his foundation with IBEW Local 269 out of Trenton, New Jersey, where the work was serious and the standards were high. In that region, projects were rarely small. Pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, power stations, university campuses like Princeton, grocery chains, parking structures, and large commercial facilities formed the backbone of the workload. Those environments demand discipline. You learn quickly that precision is not optional, safety is not negotiable, and systems must be built to perform under real load conditions.
Union training shaped his technical backbone, but field experience sharpened his instincts. Working on complex distribution systems, large service equipment, motor controls, and critical infrastructure instilled a respect for grounding, bonding, and system integrity that never left him. In heavy commercial environments, you see firsthand what happens when electrical systems are engineered correctly and what happens when they are not. That perspective carries forward into every project he touches today.
After relocating to Florida more than 25 years ago, Kevin expanded his focus while maintaining the same level of technical discipline. Florida introduced a new challenge, residential electrical systems governed by constantly evolving code requirements and some of the harshest environmental conditions in the country. Between salt air corrosion, sandy soil terrain, lightning density, and humidity, electrical systems here require a deeper level of awareness. Residential code updates every three years demand continuous education and attention to detail, particularly when it comes to grounding, surge protection, arc-fault protection, and life-safety standards.
Today, as the founder and operator of Pinellas County Electric, Kevin blends union-trained industrial precision with decades of Florida-specific field knowledge. He remains hands-on, overseeing installations, evaluating system integrity, and ensuring that grounding and safety standards are never treated as an afterthought. Whether the project involves a commercial warehouse, a welding facility, a multi-tenant property, or a residential service upgrade, his approach is consistent: build it correctly, build it safely, and build it to last.
Meet the CFO & Administration Director
In 2018, the company entered a defining new chapter when Jamie Byrne stepped into leadership. What had been a highly skilled, field-driven operation evolved into a fully structured, performance-driven organization under her direction. Today, Jamie serves as CEO of Pinellas County Electric, and her role extends far beyond title alone.
She oversees accounts payable and receivable, financial strategy, cash flow management, permitting compliance, vendor relationships, payroll, human resources, insurance coordination, and operational systems. She manages the back-end structure that allows the field to perform without friction. From financial discipline to regulatory compliance, from staffing to customer experience, Jamie handles the moving parts that keep the company stable and scalable.
Where Kevin engineers and executes in the field, Jamie engineers and executes the business.
Her leadership introduced tightened processes, stronger accountability, improved client communication, and operational clarity. Every permit is tracked. Every invoice is reconciled. Every team member is supported. Every compliance requirement is addressed. Nothing drifts.
In an industry where many contractors struggle with organization, administration, and long-term planning, Jamie’s executive oversight provides stability. She operates with precision, protects the company’s financial integrity, and ensures that growth never compromises standards.
Together, they form a balanced leadership structure, technical mastery paired with executive discipline. Pinellas County Electric is not just contractor-owned, it is family-operated and professionally managed at every level.
The result is simple. Strong field execution. Strong financial control. Strong operational leadership.
And standards that do not bend.
