NO MATTER WHAT.

Build it right, finish strong and keep our word. That’s the Hawkins way. Fourth-generation family-owned, Hawkins Construction Company has grown into one of the largest heavy construction and commercial building contractors in the Midwest.

NOW HIRING: PEOPLE WHO DELIVER.

“If you’re going to get into this industry, this is the company to work for.” – Don Valla, Hawkins Laborer

If you compete to win, take ownership of your work, and care about people as much as you care about doing it right, you’ll fit in at Hawkins. Here, pay reflects performance, training is hands-on, and advancement comes from proving yourself — not waiting your turn.

DRIVEN BY GRIT. DEFINED BY DECADES.

With more than 350 people in the field and office — and a third of them here for over a decade — we don’t just build infrastructure. We build careers that last.

We offer strong pay, comprehensive benefits, retirement support, paid time off, and performance-based bonuses because the people who carry this company forward deserve one that stands behind them. 

Where We Work

From heavy civil infrastructure to industrial systems and public facilities, we’re trusted in sectors where the margin for error is zero, and expectations are high. Our preparation doesn’t change — and neither does our follow-through. 

Transportation, Civil, Utilities

We take on the heavy civil work that keeps communities moving. From complex roadway systems to critical underground infrastructure, our teams plan thoroughly, execute safely, and engineer projects that perform where it counts.

About Hawkins

Hawkins is a fourth-generation, family-owned heavy civil contractor built for long-term performance. We take on complex infrastructure work with disciplined planning, safety-led execution and accountability that doesn’t compromise. 

Four Generations. One Standard.

WHO ARE WE.

Since 1922, Hawkins has grown the right way — holding onto the values that built this company while improving how we plan, manage, and execute the work. As a privately held company, we answer to our name, not shareholders, and put our earnings back into our people, equipment, and future. 

The Hawkins Way

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT.

We prepare for the hard parts of the work before they show up, manage risk head-on, and deliver exactly what we promise no matter what. Safety comes first and standards stay high. That doesn't change when the job gets complicated. Our name is on every project, and to us that means everything.
