Job description

Description

From that start, and his first $350,000 project, Megen Construction has grown to over 50 construction professionals working out of offices located in Cincinnati, Ohio, South Florida, and the Rocky Mountains, managing construction projects valued at over $65 million. Today, Megen Construction Company is respected for its commitment to quality, integrity, diversity, and teamwork. The award-winning firm has been involved in unique and important projects throughout the country. We have earned our reputation as a respected and ethical construction manager because our professionals are deeply committed to our mission - Delivering Encore Construction Experiences.
