Phoenix

Arizona-based Willmeng Construction is a 100-percent employee-owned general contractor that has been dedicated to helping our people build their "Genuine Place of Purpose" since 1977. We prioritize our exceptional company culture, which has us ranked in the Top 5 of the Phoenix Business Journal's Best Places to Work for more than a decade and made us the only Arizona construction firm on the Inc.

Best Workplaces list for three consecutive years. We have earned multiple appearances on AZ Big Media's Most Admired Companies list, and ranked No. 1 for Healthiest Employers for two consecutive years.

Our people and our culture have also created an atmosphere that encourages going above and beyond for our clients and our community. Our team's dedication to its craft has earned us NAIOP (CREDA) Arizona General Contractor of the Year six times, while at the same time donating more than $1 million annually to community organizations.

Our strategic vision focuses on supporting prelease transactions, competitively bidding projects of all sizes, and fostering our altruistic service culture by recruiting highly talented individuals of great character who want to make a genuine impact on our communities.

This role serves as a strategic advisor and trusted partner to market, department, and operational leaders, helping them navigate workforce planning, onboarding, performance support, employee relations, and organizational change with clarity, care, and accountability. In this role, leaders view you as a credible, trusted advisor, and people issues are addressed earlier—not later—so teams gain stronger clarity, consistency, and accountability. You handle employee relations matters thoughtfully, fairly, and effectively, while supporting growth and change without losing what makes Willmeng special.
