Why Barton Malow

We have been in business since 1924, which puts us among fewer than half a percent of companies to reach 100 years. We are privately held, with roughly $5 billion in annual revenue and 3,000+ team members across North America, and we consistently rank among the ENR Top 40 contractors. Our EMR runs at roughly half the national average of 1.0.

For a project manager, that means working alongside our own craft professionals, backed by a company that treats owners as partners, not transactions. We have been named a top place to work in construction for over 20 years, and our WeCare Total Rewards covers health, financial planning, family, and wellness.
