Our Commitment to Safety
At NW Construction, safety is the foundation of everything we build. As CEO, I am deeply committed to protecting the lives and well-being of every employee, subcontractor, and partner on our job sites. No deadline or budget is worth compromising the safety of our people.
Construction is a demanding and dynamic industry, and it requires constant vigilance, teamwork, and accountability to maintain a safe work environment. We invest in comprehensive training, enforce rigorous safety standards, and empower every team member to stop work if unsafe conditions arise—without hesitation and without consequence.
We expect every person to take personal responsibility for safety and to actively contribute to a culture where everyone goes home safely, every day. Our goal is zero incidents, and we will achieve it through leadership, commitment, and a shared belief that safety is non-negotiable.

What our Employees are Saying

“While I was at my previous job, I was an inspector on one of NW’s projects, and I could tell early on it was a company I would want to work for. It felt like a family, and they made me feel a part of that family before I even worked for them. Making the transition to construction was something I knew I wanted and doing it with NW was the best decision I’ve ever made. I don’t think a lot of people can say that they truly love their job and look forward to going to work, but I can. The opportunities we have, diversity of our work, and being able to see the end product of all the effort we put in is pretty special. Continuing to work for NW is an easy decision, and one I plan on making for a very long time.”

“I chose NW to have the opportunity to gain real world job site experience from a firm with a proven track record for successful projects, strong client relations and safety. With NW I have gotten the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals from every aspect of the job from long time operators, to job superintendents and project engineers. NW has set themselves apart for me because of the meaningful responsibilities that they have given to me, such as putting me in charge of quality control, layout and even including me in problem solving discussions. The culture at NW is also unmatched, the organization is filled with like minded people who are all focused on the same goal creating a sense of family within the company.”

"At NW, we’re a small, close-knit team taking on some of the most complex projects in the industry. The support here is unmatched—every department is ready to step in and help, no matter the challenge. As a Project Manager, I’ve worked across the country and seen how different regions tackle the same tasks in unique ways. That variety keeps the work exciting. But what really makes NW special is the people. The relationships we build and the pride we take in our work are what keep me here. We may be a small company, but we deliver big results—and we do it together."

“My internship experience has been great up here working at the Fresno Dam. I have gained a lot of hands-on experience over the past 2 summers and it has taught me a lot about project engineer work. I really enjoy being out in the field and working with the crews, it’s a lot of fun seeing them work and watch progress change daily. Overall, it has been a great experience for me going into my final year at college and learning all the real-world field applications that I have studied for in school.”
