Several decades ago, Bob began his career
gaining valuable industry knowledge and
experience while working for another con-
struction company. After spending many
years honing his craft under the tutelage of
his employer, he eventually decided to strike
out on his own. Through his hard work and
dedication − and with the help of his broth-
er Phil, brother-in-law Tommy and later his
son Jason − he built Bob Hendricksen Con-
struction from the ground up.
"Originally, I started out employing about
six to eight people, and it just grew from
there over the years," he says. "Since then, it's
just kept growing and growing and growing."
Today, Bob Hendricksen Construction em-
ploys up to 90 seasonal workers and ten full
time office staff members, which include a
Professional Engineer, a Senior Estimator
and a Health and Safety Officer, as well as
Project Managers, Site Supervisors and front
office staff.
