At Knife River, our “Life at Knife” is how we live our four core values: People, Safety, Quality and the Environment.
We will take care of our team by providing them the tools, training and time to perform their work safely and successfully. We will provide competitive wages and benefits. We will deliver excellent customer service and treat everyone with respect. We will watch out for the public in our work zones and anywhere we operate.
Our top priority on every task, every time, every day. We strive to lead the world in safety not because of statistics, but because we genuinely care about people’s wellbeing. Everyone has the right to be safe and the responsibility to look out for their co-workers, the public and themselves.
We will deliver consistent, high-quality products and services to our customers. We will get called back to do more work, not re-work. We will build relationships with our customers and the public, so they know they can depend on us.
We continuously manage our impact on the environment to minimize our footprint and to keep our states beautiful for future generations.
We build roads and bridges that connect us all to home, work, school and play. We also support charitable organizations through our Building Strong Communities program.
Our charitable efforts are focused on three key areas:
Our goal is to increase the number of available minority, female, veteran and disabled candidates by working directly with organizations that advocate on their behalf.
When you make a commitment to putting people first, that of course means every person. At Knife River, we are one team, and we are stronger together.
We will treat each other fairly and with respect. We will operate with integrity. And we will keep learning so that we are constantly improving.
Our core values of People, Safety, Quality and the Environment guide our sustainability efforts. Combined, these efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to sound business practices as we continue on our path toward a sustainable future.
We are a people-first company that believes investing in training supports skill development, team member retention and long-term business continuity.
We are committed to health and safety, and a culture that values, respects and supports our team members and the public.
We are committed to strong corporate governance, to producing high-quality products and services, and to being a good neighbor in our communities.
We always aim to operate efficiently to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
