At Summit Contracting, the company's core values are integral to its identity. They hire individuals who share their principles and blend with their professional family. Core values include:

We've got each other's backs: First and foremost, we are a team. That means when someone is having a hard time, we step up and help each other out, whether it's part of our day-to-day job or not. We've got each other's backs. No questions asked.
Own up: No one is perfect. If you make a mistake, own up to it, help to fix it, learn from it and move on.
It's not always sunny: Ag construction is a vital part of our rural economy, but it's hard work. Whether it's 75 and sunny, or 15 and snowing, we work in the elements, day in and day out. Because of that, positive attitudes are a must. We're all in this together in every situation to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
No jerks allowed: Treating each other with respect, having a good attitude, and taking responsibility for our work is of the utmost importance. Whatever job we're on, we give 100% at all times, doing everything to the very best of our ability. We take pride in what we do, and how we treat one another is no exception.
Everything we build, we build with excellence and pride: Summit Contracting wants to show the world that no one builds better than they do.

"Building a great company culture starts with a strong foundation," said Jerad Hutchens, Summit Contracting President. "We're thrilled to welcome our new college hires and interns to Team Summit; we're excited to see how they will contribute to our mission of building with excellence and pride."

Summit Contracting wishes the new college hires and interns long-lasting careers with the company.
