Our Core Values

TEAM PLAYERS

We are happy, humble, hungry, and smart.

We work together, support each other, and understand that successful projects require a team effort. We bring a positive attitude, stay humble, continuously learn, and always look for ways to contribute.

EXTREME OWNERSHIP

We don't point fingers. We own the outcome. No excuses.

We take responsibility for our work and our results. When something goes wrong, we don't look for someone to blame—we look for a solution and take action to make it right.

BUILT RIGHT

Quality is not negotiable, and details matter. We take pride in our craftsmanship and don't settle for "good enough." We strive for zero punch lists and an exceptional turnover experience for our clients.

RELENTLESS

Passion. We take care of things before we are told. We are proactive. We finish what we start. We improve something every day. We don't wait to be told what needs to be done. We see it, own it, and take care of it. We finish what we start and constantly look for ways to make ourselves, our projects, and our company better.

What We're Looking For

The right candidate will be more than someone who can swing a hammer. We are looking for someone who shows up, works hard, takes ownership, pays attention to the details, keeps the jobsite clean, and makes the team better.

This position requires someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the project moving—whether that's performing carpentry work, cleaning up the jobsite, moving materials, or making a delivery. If you have 2–3 years of commercial construction experience, take pride in your work, have a clean driving record, and believe in doing things the right way, we want to hear from you.

Join Birkmeyer General Contractors and be part of a team that is committed to building it right.
