Hey! We’re Skender, nice to meet you.

Simply put, we’re builders. We build communities, relationships, dreams, and careers. If asked, “how would Skender describe itself?” We’d say we are an ambitious, humble, and compassionate company, looking for the right people to build a true partnership with for the long-term. The reason for our success is our people. We look for dynamic, high-energy, and fun teammates that are hungry for knowledge, ready to take charge of their career, and willing to have a blast while doing it.

From humble basement beginnings to now, Skender has become one of the nation’s top 100 construction firms building dream spaces for many of the world’s leading brands. In more recent history (the past 15 years), we’ve won 28 best-place-to-work awards from three different organizations, each based on comprehensive workplace evaluations and employee input.

Wait, who are you?
