Knife River is a people-first construction company that promotes the “Life at Knife” – our culture of putting the team first and looking out for each other. Our 7,500 team members build things that last – including the roads, bridges and runways that connect all of us with where we want to go. Founded in North Dakota in 1917 and with operations across 15 states, we embrace the challenge of building America’s transportation infrastructure and helping our communities grow.
