Kiewit never stands still. Just as our founders relentlessly chased their dream, we continue to chase new and exciting opportunities.

Jobs Done Well


"Just as a rock is not shaken by a strong or sudden gust of wind, neither should we be affected by praise or success. We must not be satisfied with our past accomplishments and we should make every effort to improve and expand our operations — but only in an orderly and beneficial manner…a company cannot stand still for long — either it goes ahead or it slides back."
Peter Kiewit, 1964

Excellence. It is the foundation of everything we do. What began in 1884 with two hardworking brothers has grown into a Fortune 500 construction, mining and engineering powerhouse.

Kiewit’s ethical, forward-thinking workforce continues to build upon the company’s reputation of safe, high-quality engineering. Consistently ranked among the top five of the Engineering News-Record Top 400 Contractors, our company is a leader in a variety of market sectors throughout North America and, most recently, Australia.

As an employee-owned company, Kiewit’s assets are managed by the people who know our work best. For us, business is personal. As our own stakeholders, we are invested in every project we take on. We continuously strive to build high-quality work at the lowest cost.

Our philosophy on safety is simple: Nobody Gets Hurt. Knowing that one lapse in judgment can lead to catastrophic events, the safety of the men and women on our job sites and the community that surrounds our projects is always first.
Bruce Grewcock, Kiewit’s president and CEO, has steered the company to excellence since 2004. He is only the fifth person to assume leadership of the company in its modern era. Peter Kiewit, Bob Wilson, Walter Scott Jr. and Ken Stinson preceded him. In 2012, Grewcock was chosen as chairman of the board.

Kiewit had 2012 revenues of more than $11 billion and consistently ranks among the top five contractors by Engineering News-Record. We have virtually unlimited bonding capacity and are one of the few construction firms able to compete for billion-dollar mega-projects. However, our organizational system of local operating districts enables us to also take on smaller contracts.

Kiewit is one of the largest employee-owned firms in the nation and is noted for broad-based ownership, with U.S., Canadian and Australian employee-shareholders. Nearly all construction projects are staffed by one or more owners of our company
