Timiny RR Construction Inc. is searching for young people interested in or looking for a career in the construction industry.
We have openings in Toledo, Ohio and Cleveland – our geographic presence covers 7 states.
Pending the individual, we have field positions open and office environment positions with up to 50% travel required.
My job is to provide a platform for all employees to succeed and simultaneously make sure they are aware it is up to them to create additional opportunities for themselves.
As most companies, personal drive and determination exhibited will determine investment we are willing to make on their behalf.
We are a small company so there is substantial exposure to all aspects of the industry vs getting stuck doing takeoffs or singular task assignments (I had a few of your interns while at Kiewit).

The MTU Sustainability Demonstration House recently launched the Keweenaw’s 2nd Annual Waste Reduction Drive. We are collecting even more items than last year to divert from the landfill: dental products, disposable razors, plastic films, plastic bottle caps & rings, egg cartons, and foil-lined snack wrappers. For each of these items, we found a unique recycle or reuse opportunity. Our flyer is attached and the official guidebook can be found here (there is also a link for the guidebook on the flyer). We would love to see our entire department participating in this event!
