This is not a job ad for just any GC. This is a call to construction leaders who want skin in the game, work alongside a team of winners, and believe in a company where employee ownership actually means something. This firm is generating unheard-of returns for their team’s sweat equity – and that’s because they build like owners.

The Right Fit :

• Operational leader who leads from the front – on-site, in-the-weeds, and never above the team.
• Civil infrastructure expert, with a track record in mid size civil and municipal works.
• Entrepreneurial mindset – someone who wants to own their impact and be rewarded for it.
• Builder of people and process – you’re not just delivering projects; you’re shaping a legacy.
