ABOUT YOU: We're looking for someone with strong public infrastructure construction administration experience. WisDOT construction and design standards would be a benefit, but not necessary. Solid fundamentals with software development, systems, troubleshooting, and teamwork pave the way.
You might have a Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Civil Engineering. You might not. What we need is someone with the experience to lead self-directed work independently, with minimal supervision. We want you to build the team around you by sharing your knowledge and experience with others. We want someone who is highly sought after by our clients to administer their construction projects. A strong track record of recent past projects with good references speaks volumes.
This is primarily a field-work position. Travel to job sites will be required, therefore, a valid driver's license with a good driving record is necessary. Your home office will be our Brookfield or Green Bay office location. Proximity to many future project sites is a benefit to you, us, and our partners. Our construction vehicles are mobile offices. Even while in the field, construction administrators have access to technology and experts.
Experience with Civil 3D can help fill your time when it's not construction season. The ability to design staging and maintenance of traffic with designers and review plans for constructability is a plus. We don't hire construction staff with the intention to lay them off over winter, they are a crucial part of our team at ISG. That said, we are seeking someone who is very adaptable and willing to take on tasks that may be outside their comfort zone.
ABOUT THE BENEFITS: ISG pays very competitively in order to attract the top talent for our team and partners. We think it's worth it if we find ways to pay for ourselves.
Benefits at ISG are all about helping you lead a healthy life outside of work. While we all know we can't control construction schedules and that there are two seasons in the upper-Midwest (winter and construction), we don't micromanage your productivity once our construction responsibilities are fulfilled. Quality time to focus on work starts with quality time to think, exercise, cook a meal, be active, be with family -- time to yourself.
Full-time employees here at ISG get to be a part of such a firm, thanks largely to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). We are 100% owned by our employees! Through broader ownership, and the ability to be directly connected to performance, our culture of accountability and opportunism is amplified. Put simply, everyone works hard = everyone benefits, not just an elite group.
MORE ABOUT US: We are focused on strengths, using those talents to guide personal development and team collaboration. We are involved in our communities and manage through empowerment. Firm growth is a direct reflection of the dedication, ingenuity, and hard work each ISG owner brings to the office and field every day.
ISG's growth and sustainability are based on the unwavering belief that we need to grow for the betterment of our people and firm. We are entrepreneurial. We believe in having the right people on board and being disciplined during good times and when faced with new challenges. And most importantly, we foster growth through positive mentorship and progressive ideas that lead to strategic, contextual based decisions. We believe that this unwavering commitment to our culture, clients, and dynamic qualities translates to better services for our partners, and that it will continue to guide ISG's future.
Clients will follow talent, and talent fuels our growth. While capacity is always an issue for a growing firm, ISG has managed to maintain a high-caliber professional team with standards that go well beyond the norm. This commitment to cultivating top talent and refusal to accept mediocrity has been instilled in our culture and yields clients who are loyal to the ISG experience.
ISG's ESOP structure is more than just a monetary transaction or retirement benefit. Ideas are not generated in board rooms, but by talented professionals at every level. Mentorship is natural and consistent versus scripted. There's a culture of support and a fierce drive for growth instead of secrets and rank. We are better together, all forging ahead in the same direction. Our All-In mentality goes beyond a marketing statement or firm mantra as it sums up the employee owner, entrepreneurial environment that puts clients and solutions first.

Although a cover letter is important, there's no benefit to writing a novel. Keep it sharp, short, and get across what matters to you. We value great communicators, so take your time with the application. We're giving you our full attention.
