Culture

People come first at Kelso-Burnett. As an employee-owned company, we recognize the contributions of our team and believe that strong relationships are an important part of our continued growth.

Throughout the year, our team is provided opportunities to connect with one another, support charitable organizations and participate in initiatives that make a difference.

Kelso-Burnett is proud to support Habitat for Humanity Chicago and its Women Build initiative.

Employees from across Kelso-Burnett and the Newport Industries family have worked together on Habitat build sites to help advance safe and affordable homeownership. The program gives our team an opportunity to contribute their time, work alongside colleagues and support families throughout the Chicago area.

Kelso-Burnett recognizes the important role women play throughout our company and the construction industry.

Our Women in Construction programming brings employees together through panel discussions, networking events and other opportunities to share experiences and build connections across teams and offices. We believe these relationships help strengthen our company while supporting continued professional growth throughout our organization.

Women in Construction

For more than a decade, Kelso-Burnett and Newport Industries employees have participated in the American Cancer Society Walk & Roll.

Employees and their families come together to walk, run, skate and bike in support of the fight against cancer. Our participation is part of a longstanding commitment to supporting organizations and causes that are important to our employees and communities.

Company Events

Building strong relationships starts with giving people opportunities to connect.

Company meetings, golf outings, sporting events, volunteer initiatives, employee celebrations and other activities throughout the year bring our teams together beyond their day-to-day work.

As an employee-owned company, we value these opportunities to strengthen relationships across our offices, field teams and the Newport Industries family.

Employee-Owned

Kelso-Burnett has been employee-owned for more than four decades. That ownership is reflected in the way we approach our work, support our people and invest in the communities around us.

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on creating opportunities for our employees to learn, connect and contribute.
