Our People: Construction Professionals

Building excellence and value is not limited to structures of bricks and mortar. W. M. Jordan Company builds relationships with the people we serve - our clients, contractors, suppliers, and associates. People are the foundation of our business. Successful relationships stem from outstanding service to our clients and to our community. With The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence as our guiding philosophy, together we enhance the quality of life for all.

W. M. Jordan Company is in the business of building people - leaders, people of character who are fair, kind and considerate. Why? Because we believe that good people build better buildings. We attract and retain the best construction professionals in our industry. The pride and energy we put into our work has elevated our company to be one of the premier contractors in the United States.

The relentless pursuit of excellence permeates our lives, both personally and professionally. W. M. Jordan Company maintains the highest standards and ethics. Our solutions-driven approach to business extends to giving back to the community. Our people are active in local charitable organizations, trade and professional organizations, and leaders in the community. We live where we work, and take immeasurable pride in the results.

Employee Development

Why does a large construction company like W. M. Jordan have such little turnover? We are asked this question often, yet the answer is simple: give your employees opportunities for development and freedom to make decisions. Knowledge, experience, know-how, accomplishments and job satisfaction will follow. Our new employees follow a path that has proven to produce some of the best project managers, estimators and field superintendents in the business. We develop leaders that find solutions for you, delivering more value at every stage of the game.

While technical, hands-on training is critical, it is only part of the development process. Developing the person is equally important. Our in-house training programs tackle tough issues such as dealing with change, diversity in the workplace, negotiating skills, team-building, creative problem solving and presentation skills. Learning never stops, and our training programs continue to grow to help equip our employees for work and life in the 21st century.

Subcontractors and Suppliers: Our Project Partners

Building quality projects on time and within budget requires extensive effort from a wide community of professionals. The W. M. Jordan Company family extends beyond the walls of our campus buildings and the confines of our employee roll to include a supporting cast of project partners. In the past half-century, W. M. Jordan Company has developed strong relationships with the majority of the trade and specialty contractors, suppliers, and associated firms that help our projects come to life. Together, we provide our clients with the service and quality they expect.

An important component of the subcontracting community includes Small, Women-owned, Minority (SWAM) and Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) firms. Sharon Rheinhart, our Supplier Diversity Manager, actively develops relationships with these contractors and with organizations that support these firms. Her guidance has helped hundreds of firms become certified, enabling them to qualify for opportunities that they might otherwise overlook.

From mentor-protégé relationships with SWAM and HUB firms to helping major subcontractors develop working relationships with these companies, W. M. Jordan Company is committed to developing a Supplier Diversity Program that sets the standard for the construction industry.
