About the Company
This organization is a rapidly growing federal construction contractor that partners directly with government agencies to deliver a wide range of project solutions. The team is known for taking on complex requirements, finding practical solutions, and remaining competitive across diverse federal contract types.
In recent years, the company has significantly expanded its federal footprint through strategic partnerships, including an SBA-approved mentor-protégé agreement with a large national contractor. This has accelerated growth, diversified project opportunities, and positioned the company for long-term success in the federal space.
With multiple recent contract awards and a strong pipeline ahead, the company is entering a high-growth phase and investing in experienced professionals who want to play a meaningful role in shaping how federal projects are delivered.
