About Our Client
• My client is a small but mighty General Contractor in Overland Park, KS. It was started about 25 years ago by our POC who is now the Operations Manager.

• The company does about $100M per year and sits at about 26 people right now.
• Projects they focus on are Data Centers, Pharmaceutical, Healthcare - they stay away from all Retail and Multi-family. They pride themselves in working on the same complex, large projects the big players do.
• Every day is a challenge - in a fun and exciting way. You're working for very smart/interesting clients, and doing very complex projects. This is a firm for people who enjoy problem solving, and like to be the CEO / decision maker of their own work and that do not like micro management.
