About Swinerton

Swinerton is a 100 percent employee-owned US national construction company founded in 1888, when a Swedish immigrant started a brick masonry and contracting business to serve the West Coast building boom. Today it is a $5 billion firm with more than 4,300 professionals across 24 regional offices from coast to coast, and its aviation group has been a partner of the aviation industry for more than 40 years, delivering roughly $400 million in airport construction each year, about 10 percent of the company's total volume, at 50 airports and airfields for private operators, government agencies and commercial airlines.

Aviation construction

  • Terminal, hangar, parking structure and airport lounge projects, from the largest and busiest airports to small, remote locations
  • Coordination with airport management, operations and maintenance, law enforcement, security and emergency services, airlines, retailers and travellers to build safely inside operating airports
  • Recent work and articles cover restroom enhancements at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, inclusive travel experiences at San José Mineta International Airport, Spokane airport projects and luxury airport lounges
  • Aviation leads reachable through the company's Denver and Portland offices

Company-wide capabilities

  • Projects from small tenant improvements to ground-up towers, LEED-certified green buildings and complex medical campuses
  • Local roots in the markets it serves combined with national reach and financial strength
  • Corporate responsibility and community outreach programmes, with memberships and certifications shown on its site including NAMC, WBENC, NMSDC, NVBDC and NGLCC, and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Culture

Swinerton says pride of ownership drives its employee-owners to deliver accountability, integrity and peace of mind for clients, with a culture of innovation and flexibility it credits for more than 135 years of continuous operation.
