Job description

About Us

We are a multi-state licensed, unlimited-tier General Contractor specializing in General and Mechanical Contracting construction services. As a proud service-disabled veteran-owned business, we excel in delivering high-quality projects to the federal government and are expanding into the private markets.

Why Work For Us

Are you tired of being confined by a job title and a small cubicle? We offer the flexibility and freedom to explore diverse tasks daily, empowering employees to make decisions and blaze their own trail. We are constantly evolving with technology to gain an advantage over our competition. We give employees the best tools available to perform their jobs and encourage the team to continually look for better, faster, more efficient ways of conducting our daily work. The views of others contribute to a synergy that helps grow the business and the employees. This approach enables the employees to self-develop and push the boundaries of what they are capable of, providing experience and learning opportunities that large corporate environments cannot offer.
