Our company has been in business for almost a century, but we’re not stuck in the past. We encourage innovation, and we welcome diversity.

The people who work here take pride in their work, support each other and drive our commitment to exceptional construction, from urban high-rise towers, educational buildings, museums and libraries to advanced technology, industrial manufacturing facilities, water treatment plants, healthcare facilities and more.

Precision is a place where you can feel like you belong. Many of our employees have been here for 20+ years. They often join us straight out of college or apprenticeships and grow their entire careers here.
