The most valuable asset at GIP is people - our employees, our customers, and the public. Nothing is more important than our people coming to work happy and leaving safe.

We are committed to fostering a work environment that embraces Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging for all so our people benefit from the creative solutions that come from embracing differences.

Sustainability is part of our DNA.

We focus on recycling and reusing materials by taking old roads and reengineering them into new roads, keeping tons of used materials out of our landfills.

The work we do today at GIP will carry us into a better, greener, and safer tomorrow.
