Build A Career With Straub.

Believe in what you build.

Build more than a career.

Hi, we’re Straub.

We build spaces for communities to work, learn, pray and live.

We love doing it. Which explains why we’ve done it for more than a century. Back in 1920, Ernest J. Straub, Sr. got to work developing churches, schools and homes in the Mission Hills area of Greater Kansas City.

WE BELIEVE

Community is more than concrete, bricks and steel.

The sense of belonging and responsibility doesn’t come from a collection of buildings. It comes from how people use those buildings. It comes from a vision of what a building can be.

We view our success by the number of families we impact.

From 2018-2028, 125,000 families each week will be impacted by facilities we’ve built, and we’re committed to growing that number.

ONE CITY CAFÉ

Giving back is instilled in our culture.

We encourage community engagement and provide our employees with 8 hours of paid volunteer time.

Over the years, we’ve supported more than sixty charities. We provide materials as well as our project managers, superintendents and laborers to charitable organizations across Greater KC. And we applaud our employees who volunteer to renovate houses, make presentations to student groups, fundraise for special causes, work at food pantries and remain active in their community churches, schools, scout groups and more.
