We could list a variety of construction things we do, the projects that we win, and the accolades we have received, but we would rather tell you about our culture. For instance, our employees selected three charities to dedicate our 100th-anniversary fundraising efforts and we presented each organization - Easterseals, Alzheimer's Association, and The Greg Hill Foundation - with $100,000 checks following nine months of fundraising. Now, that is living our core purpose!

Additionally, our team members regularly volunteer with organizations that help to fight food insecurity, revitalize homes and neighborhoods, raise money for cancer and other diseases, and participate in charitable missions that are important to them and their families.

We don't only build things; we build careers. That's why our Employee Development Department manages our Construction Management Trainee (CMT) and our Foreman Development Programs. Our Leonard H. White Training Center is regularly abuzz with craft skills training and leadership learning activities as well. Yes, we have tuition reimbursement too.
