Our story began in 1953 when Jim Whitaker decided to get out of the sand and gravel business and start a utility construction company with a pickup truck, a shovel, and one helper. Now his company has become one of the most respected contractors in the intermountain area with more than 400 employees and nearly 50 crews.
We also love our communities and are very proud of the great projects that we complete to make our make our cities and country a great place to live and prosper. We love the amazing people from the many cities, and public and private entities that we work with on a daily basis. We want to ensure a bright future for our Whitaker family and communities, and be around for a long time building the best projects.

One of the best construction companies to work for. I have been working here for almost a month now and I really enjoy it. They have great benefits and have an ESOP most companies don’t have.

It would be super nice if people would actually leave a review of what was done and how it turned out (with pictures). Makes it hard to find a company to have work done for you. I'm trying to find a company to have some cement work done in our back yard, but guess will move on .....

Whittaker Construction has shown an obvious lack of integrity in the way they handle business and public relations. They performed work this last winter on 400s in Salt Lake City.
