Celebrating 85 Years of Building With Purpose

At Absher Construction, we’re proud to celebrate over 85 years as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected general contractors. As a 100% employee‑owned company, we believe our people are our greatest asset—and we invest in them like it. From fully paid medical premiums for employees, to a generous PTO policy, 401(k) and ESOP retirement benefits, we offer a total rewards package that reflects the pride and ownership we bring to every project.

We’re hiring a Special Projects Superintendent to lead fast‑paced, detail‑driven construction work across a wide range of markets. Absher’s Special Projects Group delivers renovations, tenant improvements, small capital upgrades, and complex interior reconfigurations in active, occupied, and sensitive environments. We need a Superintendent who can manage multiple scopes, keep communication tight, and maintain exceptional customer service while driving safe, high‑quality results.
