Wright-Ryan Construction

April 8th holds a special meaning to us. In 2014, the City of Portland officially declared April 8th Wright-Ryan Day in recognition of our commitment to working in the community. To celebrate, we’re throwing it back to 1984 with a photo of our founders, John Ryan and Tom Wright, on the barge during Wright-Ryan’s early days working on Cliff Island.

We’re hiring Commercial Project Managers/Estimators in our Portland office. If you’re looking for career growth, a strong team culture, and the opportunity to work on meaningful projects at a 100% employee-owned company, we’d love to hear from you. Apply here: https://www.wright-ryan.com/careers/

Happy ! We’re celebrating the incredible women of Wright-Ryan who help make us one of the Best Places to Work in Maine through their talent, leadership, and impact every day. Thank you for all you do, on-site and behind the scenes.
