Why Work Here?

You will join a large, established general contractor known for managing a wide variety of significant projects and for self-performing much of its work, which can provide strong continuity of employment. Although this assignment is initially a three-month project, there is potential for longer-term opportunities in the area as additional work is bid and awarded.
