At our 4th quarter company meeting we were able to present Jerany with her 15-year award, Travis with his 10-year award, and Zach with our Core Values award. We couldn't be more grateful to have these 3 on our team, they make Great River a stronger and better company. Congratulations to each of you and thank you for your hard work and dedication!

Great River Engineering’s Transportation and Bridge Teams have been busy these last few weeks. Team members have presented at 3 different professional conferences across the State.
