Our company has physical locations in the states highlighted below, but performs work in many more states in the central, western and southern United States. Select the state your project is located in to find a Knife River operation ready to help you.
Are you looking for a career in the construction and aggregate industries? If so, then Knife River is looking for you. Unlike other areas of the United States, North Dakota is booming. Oil, agriculture and manufacturing are surging both in business growth and job opportunities. The state has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country at only three percent.
Knife River has North Dakota operations in Bismarck, Fargo and Williston and we’re looking to expand even further due to high demand for our products and services. Currently, we’re looking for people to fill the following positions:
- CDL drivers
- Equipment operators
- Construction laborers
- Mechanics
We offer competitive wages and an excellent benefits package that includes a 401k, medical, dental, vision and life insurance. Depending on the location of employment, housing and subsistence pay may be applicable.
During the peak season, Knife River boasts roughly 4,600 employees in locations throughout the United States. North Dakota is definitely the fastest growing market of all our locations and we’re looking for people to become part of the Knife River team.
The boom occurring in North Dakota is expected to last for the next 15-20 years. So if you’re looking for a secure job with opportunities to grow with one of the nation’s largest ready-mix and aggregate production companies, a place to call home and raise your family, then Knife River and North Dakota may be just what you’re looking for. For more information, don’t hesitate to give us a call at one of the numbers listed below. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
