Pearce Services

Pearce Services is a portfolio company of New Mountain Capital, a New York-based private equity firm with over $45 billion in assets under management (per New Mountain Capital, 2024). The acquisition was completed in 2021, transitioning Pearce from an independent operator to a sponsored platform executing a buy-and-build strategy in critical infrastructure services.

Pearce grows through a deliberate acquisition strategy, identifying regional operators in telecom tower maintenance, generator servicing, and clean energy field support. By consolidating these smaller players, Pearce achieves geographic density, cross-sells services across overlapping customer bases, and leverages national procurement scale for equipment and training.

No. Pearce is an operating business, not a fund manager. It does not raise external capital from limited partners or manage separately structured investment vehicles. Its capital structure—with equity and debt arranged by New Mountain Capital—is used entirely for corporate operations and acquisitions within the field-services sector.

Pearce technicians service wireless macro towers, small-cell sites, commercial-scale backup generators, DC fast-charging EV stations, and solar-plus-storage installations. The unifying thread is distributed physical infrastructure requiring periodic preventive maintenance, repair, and upgrade—often in hard-to-reach locations across the United States.

It has diversified well beyond tower climbing. While telecom services—cell site maintenance, commissioning, and decommissioning—remain foundational, the company has invested heavily in energy transition services. Pearce now deploys field teams for EV charger repair and for inverter and panel maintenance at renewable energy sites, considerably broadening its end-market exposure.
