We're an established commercial general contractor with more than 30 years of building exceptional projects and even stronger relationships throughout Arizona and the Southwest. Our reputation has been built on doing the right thing, treating people well, and delivering outstanding work for our clients.

We're proud to be known as a company where people genuinely enjoy coming to work, support one another, and build long‑term careers.

We invest in our employees, encourage new ideas, and create opportunities for people to grow alongside the business.

• 7+ years of experience in commercial construction contract administration, risk management, insurance compliance, or related disciplines.
• Strong understanding of commercial construction contracts and delivery methods including GMP, CMAR, Design‑Build, Lump Sum, and JOC.
• Experience negotiating contract language and partnering with legal counsel on complex agreements.
