Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

We’re seeking a construction professional with a strong foundation in public infrastructure administration. Experience with WisDOT standards and Civil 3D is a plus, but not required. What matters most is your technical proficiency, problem-solving ability, and collaborative mindset.

Whether you have a degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent experience, you should be comfortable leading projects independently and contributing to team growth. A proven track record and solid references are essential.

This field-based role involves travel to job sites. A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are required. Our mobile-equipped vehicles keep you connected and supported on the go.

ISG Employee Owner Benefits

ISG pays very competitively to attract the top talent for our team and partners. We think it's worth it if we find ways to pay for ourselves.

Benefits at ISG are all about helping you lead a healthy life outside of work. While we all know we can't control construction schedules and that there are two seasons in the upper Midwest (winter and construction), we don't micromanage your productivity once our construction responsibilities are fulfilled. Quality time to focus on work starts with quality time to think, exercise, cook a meal, be active, be with family -- time to yourself.

Full-time employees here at ISG get to be a part of such a firm, thanks largely to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). We are 100% owned by our employees! Through broader ownership, and the ability to be directly connected to performance, our culture of accountability and opportunism is amplified. Put simply, everyone works hard = everyone benefits, not just an elite group.
