“Working at Ideal Contracting has been life-changing. I started at Ideal in the Build U Internship program four years ago. I was hired with the dream of learning more about construction but not knowing where to start. After my internship program, I decided to stay on board full-time. Everyone at this company empowers you to be curious, ask questions, learn from your mistakes, and voice your thoughts and opinions. It’s a growing and learning environment that I had never been a part of before. The family dynamic here is nothing that you can find at other companies. Everyone is always willing to be a mentor and teacher. No matter where you are in your career, Ideal Contracting has opportunities for you to develop your skills and knowledge.”

“Joining Ideal Contracting was a career-defining moment for me. I really enjoy the various project challenges and the mixture of projects that we engage in; it makes for an interesting experience every day. Additionally, the collaborative approach at all levels around Ideal is so refreshing and appreciated. When you are asked for your opinion on a topic, you can rest assured that it is heard and considered. From my first day, the Venegas family and leadership at Ideal were sincerely welcoming and appreciative that I chose Ideal to continue my career with. That isn’t an environment that is easily found in construction, especially with an exponentially growing company like Ideal. Believe me when I say, the pleasure is absolutely all mine. The future is very bright at Ideal Contracting.”
- Blake Arkwood, Project Estimator/Manager

“Joining the team at Ideal Contracting was like becoming part of a big, hard-working family. I felt welcomed with open arms when I moved my own family from Chicago back to Detroit. Ideal’s leadership and company culture has provided me with all the resources, mentorship, and tools necessary to continue to learn, grow, and realize my short-term and long-term career goals and aspirations. The company itself is growing at a very rapid rate, and it has been extremely impressive to see the various teams come together to facilitate that growth. There are very exciting times ahead for Ideal Contracting, and I am very excited to be a part of it!”
- Adam Szajner, Senior Project Manager
