Project Manager / Co-Owner

At Keller, Inc., we believe our people, our culture, our ownership mindset, and our proven processes are what truly set us apart from other design/build general contractors. Being 100% employee‑owned means more than holding stock—it means every person here shows up with pride, purpose, and a commitment to excellence.

Our employee‑owners are humble, intelligent, hardworking, and passionate about what they do. You can feel the energy the moment you talk to them. We design and build exceptional facilities, and we take pride in every project we deliver. Now, we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of something great.

Before we get into the technical details, let’s talk about what matters most: Do you bring a great attitude, high energy, and consistent effort every single day?

Our culture is built on dependability, accountability, and pride in our work. If you show up with the right mindset, we can teach you the rest.
