At McGuire and Hester, employee ownership is more than a benefit. It is part of how we work, how we lead, and how we take care of one another.

As a 100% employee-owned company, every employee has a shared stake in our success. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan, eligible employee-owners receive a company-funded beneficial interest in company stock, creating an opportunity to share in the value they help build over time.

That ownership mindset strengthens the quality of our work, the accountability of our teams, and the pride we bring to every project.

From day one, McGuire and Hester employees become part of an ownership culture built on accountability, collaboration, and long-term opportunity. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan, employee-owners receive a 100% employer-paid beneficial interest in company stock, helping build financial security while contributing to the company’s continued success.

Our employee ownership model reinforces the way we approach every project: with pride in our work, respect for our teams, and a commitment to doing the right thing for our clients, partners, and communities.

McGuire and Hester’s employee ownership culture is best told by the people who live it every day. This upcoming video will feature executives and employee-owners sharing what the ESOP means to them, how it supports long-term opportunity, and why shared success is central to the way we work.

Employee ownership shapes the way our teams work together, support clients, and take pride in the quality of our work. It connects individual contributions to company performance while reinforcing a long-term commitment to our people, partners, and communities.

As employee-owners, our people take pride in building infrastructure, landscapes, and public spaces that serve Northern California for generations.

The Employee Stock Ownership Plan is one way McGuire and Hester invests in employees for the long term. Because the plan is funded by the company, eligible employee-owners can build value over time without purchasing shares directly.

As the company continues to grow and perform well, employee-owners have the opportunity to share in the success they help create. This reinforces a culture where every role matters, every contribution has value, and long-term thinking benefits both our people and our company.

Combined with our 401(k) program and employer-matching contributions, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan supports long-term financial stability and retirement planning. It reflects a simple belief: the people who help build the company should share in its success.

Employee ownership is one part of a larger culture built on opportunity, appreciation, teamwork, and service. Join a team where your work matters, your contributions are valued, and your success is connected to something bigger.
