Job Description

Summit Contracting is the premier builder of agricultural structures in South Dakota and Nebraska. Everything we build, we build with excellence and pride. We want to show the world that no one builds better than Summit.

At Summit Contracting, our core values are integral to who we are. That's why we hire people who share our principles and blend with our professional family.

Our Core Values:

We've Got Each Other's Backs

First and foremost, we are a team. That means when someone is having a hard time, we step up and help each other out, whether it's part of our day-to-day job or not. We've got each other's backs. No questions asked.

Own Up

No one is perfect. We get that. If you make a mistake, own up to it, help to fix it, learn from it and move on.

It's Not Always Sunny

Ag construction is a vital part of our rural economy, but it's hard work. Whether it's 75 and sunny, or 15 and snowy, we work in the elements, day in and day out. Because of that, positive attitudes are a must. We're all in this together in every situation to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

No Jerks Allowed

It doesn't matter if we're talking to a customer or a colleague, treating each other with respect, having a good attitude and taking responsibility for our work is of the utmost importance. Whatever job we're on, we give 100% at all times, doing everything to the very best of our ability. We take pride in what we do and how we treat one another is no exception.
