F.H. Paschen
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 7/20/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/20/2026

F.H. Paschen has over 115 years of experience in the construction industry. You’ve driven on highways we paved, you’ve travelled through airports we modernized, you’ve commuted through rail stations we constructed, and your children learn in schools we built. But we are MORE than that. We offer MORE Versatility—as we work in any industry, offering any delivery method and service. We operate with MORE Tenacity—as we maneuver through tight schedules, spaces, and budgets. We provide MORE Ingenuity—by creating solutions to solve your greatest challenges. And we perform with MORE Pride—in focusing on safety and quality, and in offering more opportunities for our communities and diverse populations to build with us. We deliver far more than just on time and on budget—we deliver with MORE Paschen.

The way in which urban infrastructure is conceived, planned, and implemented, can have a profound effect on the communities it serves. Transit projects, in particular, represent long-term infrastructure investments that are likely to serve millions of people over time. Not only do those projects require careful planning and design, they also must be built to last. Our extensive experience across a wide variety of projects with transit agencies, as well as our broad range of construction skills, focus, and dedication, puts us in a unique position to be highly successful—even when projects are long and challenging.
