Job description

Founded in 1960 by Rudy Gerbus and his brother as Gerbus Bros Construction, Trans Ash began with a strong foundation in mass earthmoving and heavy civil construction. That construction background remains central to who we are today. Over the decades, Trans Ash has grown into an Ohio-based civil construction and environmental services company supporting power generation, utility, and heavy industrial clients across a wide range of complex projects.

In 2023, Trans Ash became part of NorthStar Group, strengthening our ability to serve customers with expanded resources, broader environmental services capabilities, and the support of a larger national organization.

Today, our work extends well beyond ash handling. Trans Ash performs heavy civil construction services such as large-scale earthwork, site development, clearing and grubbing, erosion controls, haul roads, storm drainage, process water ponds, spillways, concrete support, slope and shoreline stabilization, landfill construction and closure, dredging, ash pond remediation, site restoration, and plant support services.

With experienced field teams, a growing fleet of heavy equipment, and a management team focused on safety, quality, and production, we are equipped to take on demanding construction and environmental projects from planning through completion.
