Career paths

Four ways to start.

Run a crew, run a site, run the numbers or start from zero. Each path has room to grow and people ready to help you climb.

01 · Craft

Craft and trades

Our own crews pour concrete, erect steel, move earth and own the activities that set the finish date. Apprentices learn from experienced hands on live work, not in a simulator.

  • Carpenters
  • Concrete finishers
  • Ironworkers
  • Operators
  • Laborers
02 · Field

Field leadership

Superintendents, foremen and field engineers run the site hour by hour. Logistics, crane picks, inspections, safety and the three-week look-ahead are yours to drive.

  • Superintendents
  • Foremen
  • Field engineers
  • Safety
  • Quality
03 · Project & controls

Project, controls and office

Schedulers, cost engineers, estimators, project managers and VDC specialists. This company was founded by a controls professional, so the people who own the numbers sit at the center of every job.

  • Scheduling
  • Project controls
  • Estimating
  • Project management
  • VDC
04 · Early career

Students and new graduates

Internships and entry roles that put you on a live project fast. You get a mentor, real deliverables and an honest view of where the next step leads.

  • Internships
  • Co-ops
  • Graduate roles
  • Apprenticeships
Life at GilbertLanham

What building here feels like.

  1. 01

    Safety comes before speed

    Every shift opens with a pre-task plan. Anyone can stop unsafe work, and the person who does is thanked, never questioned.

  2. 02

    Responsibility arrives early

    New engineers own submittal logs and look-aheads. New foremen lead crews. We hand people real work and coach them through it.

  3. 03

    Plans you can trust

    Schedules here are built to be followed. That means fewer fire drills, saner weeks and more time doing work you are proud of.

  4. 04

    Range to keep you growing

    Hospitals, airfields, substations and housing across 22 markets. Go deep in one market or move between sectors as your interests change.

Benefits

Support for the long haul.

Benefits depend on role, location and employment type. These are the commitments we make to our people.

01

Health and well-being

Medical, dental and vision coverage for eligible employees and their families, with support for mental health and life off the job.

02

Pay and the future

Competitive wages, a retirement savings plan and paid time off, so the work supports the life you are building at home.

03

Learning and growth

Safety certifications, craft training, scheduling and controls skills, leadership development and mentoring, on paid time.

Questions people ask.

Are open roles listed on this site?

Not at the moment. Write to careers@gilbertlanham.com and we will match you with current and upcoming openings across our projects.

Do I need construction experience?

Not for every role. Apprenticeships and early-career paths are designed for people new to the industry who are ready to learn.

Can I change paths later?

Yes. Craft workers become foremen and superintendents, field engineers move into project management or controls, and we actively help people make those moves.

Will I have to travel?

That depends on the role and the project. Many positions stay local, and some follow the work. We discuss it openly before you join.
