The company’ s longevity is in part due to its unique ownership model, as Director of Preconstruction, Kevin Mullen, reveals:“ One of the ways we’ ve been able to stand out in this industry is through the dedication and work ethic of our team. The company is 100 percent employee-owned, which ensures everyone is motivated to succeed.
“ We have over 450 employees, all of whom have a stake in McLean’ s continued growth. We take a lot of pride in that fact. The ESOP structure makes for a strong and mutually respectful working culture, and that value is always passed along to the client.”
With the support and enthusiasm of its team, McLean Contracting has built a reputation for self-performing capabilities and hands-on, innovative construction techniques. This is just one way in which the business sets itself apart from the competition,
as Chief Operating Officer, Cory Heisey, discusses:“ We have extensive knowledge of marine construction, dating back over 100 years. The company’ s been building marine projects since its genesis, which has allowed us to build up the technical expertise and marine fleet to work on a range of niche and highly complex projects.
“ In addition, due to the employee stock ownership program, we have numerous employees who’ ve been with us their entire career. Beyond that, a number of our team members have passed their knowledge down across generations— we have employee families that are fourth generation McLean.
“ It creates a really special atmosphere. We’ ve built many signature projects over the last several decades, performing not only for federal agencies like the Coast Guard and Navy, but also for state DOTs, and port authorities. We’ ve built longstanding partnerships with clients in those spaces as well.
