Our Relentless Allies
Nothing says ‘this is a great place’ more than our employees! Take a look at this incredible list of interns-turned-employees and their incredible journeys
Inspiring the industry
Komail designed and implemented a digital project closeout program that was so successful, it was adopted by the project owner, Denton ISD, as a best practice for all future projects.
Just like family
“My husband and I joke that our kids are going to be Balfour people, too,” says Rachele, whose husband also works at Balfour Beatty. “They really do treat us like family. Balfour Beatty cares about its people. That’s why I was attracted to this company, and it’s why I stay.”

Project Engineer (Alternative Delivery) / Los Angeles, CA
Paving the road to success
“I first started my professional career with Balfour Beatty as an intern, and upon graduation, was hired as a full-time employee. Throughout this time, I was surrounded by experienced mentors who were willing to devote their own time to ensure my success. It really amazed me to see a company full of employees who even with 15+ years of experience still found fulfillment in helping the next generation. Balfour Beatty focuses on people and it shows.”
Joel
Assistant Superintendent | Falls Church, VA
Limitless possibilities
“My career feels limitless, and I’m not sure if there is a title for the goals I aspire to achieve. My goal is to positively impact Balfour Beatty by bringing a new perspective to the table. I care about this company and the people within it. When I see the team and everything we have to offer, I am filled with unwavering excitement to lift our team up as high as WE can go. I want to tackle the seemingly impossible with this incredible team.”

Putting the sincerity into safety
When asked the secret to his teams’ successes, Paul is eager to discuss the details from pre-task planning to hazard analysis and housekeeping. But the more he speaks, it becomes apparent that this soft-spoken superintendent is able to win the hearts and minds of trade partners because of his sincerity.
“If people feel you’re invested in them, they’re more likely to be invested in themselves,” says Paul. “I don’t feel remorse for telling someone, ‘You’re not doing yourself any justice.’ Because I’d feel a million times worse if I didn’t.”
Paul
Superintendent | Seattle, WA
