Full-service general contractor and construction materials producer across infrastructure and transportation
Granite Construction is a 100+ year-old general contractor and materials producer serving U.S. transportation, power, water, and federal projects. The hiring surge (452 roles posted in 30 days) is concentrated in construction and security roles, with a secondary wave in engineering—indicating operational scaling alongside a push into digital tooling. The tech stack reveals a traditional heavy-civil foundation (Oracle Primavera, Autodesk, Trimble, Bluebeam) supplemented by emerging data work (Python, Elasticsearch, real-time pipelines, ML for automation), suggesting a shift toward data-driven project management and safety systems.
Notable leadership hires: Survey Chief, Chief Estimator, Survey Party Chief, Labor Lead
Granite Construction operates as one of the largest full-service general contractors and construction materials producers in the United States, with five operating brands: Garco Testing Laboratories, Granite Construction Supply & Sign Shop, Granite Industrial, Granite Power, Intermountain Slurry Seal, and Layne. The company specializes in transportation, bridges, roads, tunnels, power, water, aviation, mining, and federal contracting projects. Based in Watsonville, California, and publicly traded, Granite employs 5,000–10,000 people across operations, field crews, and administrative functions. Current hiring priorities reflect both field expansion (construction, surveying, labor leads) and internal capability-building (security, engineering, data infrastructure), with active recruitment in the United States and Canada.
Granite uses Oracle Primavera (P6 and Contract Manager), Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam, Trimble, MicroStation, and GIS for core operations, supplemented by Python, Java, Elasticsearch, AWS, Azure, and GCP for emerging data and automation work.
