Kiewit Today

Rick Lanoha is currently Kiewit’s president and CEO, a role he assumed January 1, 2020. He is only the sixth person to lead the company as chief executive officer in its modern era. Peter Kiewit, Bob Wilson, Walter Scott Jr., Ken Stinson and Bruce Grewcock preceded him. Prior to Grewcock’s retirement, Lanoha had served as president and chief operating officer since 2016 and was elected to Kiewit’s board of directors in 2009..

Kiewit had 2018 revenues of $9 billion and consistently ranks among the top ten contractors by Engineering News-Record. We have virtually unlimited bonding capacity and are one of the few construction firms able to compete for billion-dollar mega-projects. However, our organizational system of local operating districts enables us to also take on smaller contracts.

Kiewit is one of North America’s largest and most respected construction and engineering organizations. The employee-owned company operates through a network of subsidiaries in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Nearly all construction projects are staffed by one or more owners of our company.
