Employee Ownership
Building sustainable futures with the world’s most precious resources—water and people.
Garney is a 100% employee owned company. Simply put, we work harder and smarter because we all own the company. Our entire culture revolves around this ownership.
We are a hands-on organization; always have been, always will be. Our people don’t mind getting their hands or their boots dirty. Our people are not only smart, tough-minded, and hard-working – they also own the company.
Since we are 100% employee owned, all our employee-owners participate in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Steve Harris Project Manager
employee-owner since 2001
I was always fascinated by construction but never thought I could have a successful career in it because I was a girl. One door has led to another, and I am eternally grateful for the day that door led to Garney.
Lilly Pierce Project Engineer

ESOP means I can give my family a better life and retire early without worrying about money. It is something I would have never accomplished working for another company.
Octavio Ramirez Foreman

I can’t imagine where my life and career would be if I wasn’t here at Garney. From getting to work with talented, career-driven people, to having a secure future, I can’t think of anything better than that.
