THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

We believe maintaining a safe working environment is critical to our success – and it is our promise to every member of the Bigge team. At Bigge, “Safety First” is more than just our slogan; it is our most important core value and an integral part of our company’s culture. Led by our executive leadership, our commitment to implement and execute health, safety, and environmental practices is reflected in everything we do. From the early planning stages to the completion of our work, we are committed to being a world-class contractor in safety. The goal of our culture is to promote an injury and accident-free environment, and provide for the safest workplace possible for our team members, clients, other project-site contractors and the public.

Bigge has the best equipment in the industry. We continuously invest in our fleet to give our customers a variety of crane options from leading manufacturers. Our team members enjoy working with one another and have fun working on challenging, meaningful projects together – while in the comfort of wearing jeans - "Bigge Casual": being yourself.

INVESTING IN OUR TEAM

Our team members work hard for us, so we want to make sure that we provide a full suite of benefits, training programs and rewards.

In addition to competitive wages, Bigge offers a comprehensive benefits plan that includes medical (PPO, HSA, and HMO plan options), dental, vision, life insurance, team member assistant programs, short and long-term disability, and flexible spending accounts. We offer paid vacation, sick time, and holidays.

Training and professional development is a top priority for Bigge. Our training program is designed to enhance the skills of team members across all areas of the company. Team members are encouraged to take professional development, training, and certification classes. Everyone is encouraged to express their goals and discuss their career paths with their managers. Upward mobility and promoting from within matter to us.

We strive to recognize and reward top performers in our company.

We also have company-wide quarterly and annual peer-nominated awards based on our five Core Values – Safety, Teamwork, Innovation, Results, and Passion. Team members are awarded with cash prizes and plaques for their hard work and dedication as seen by their peers. Bigge also recognizes loyal team members and rewards them for their devotion through special anniversary gifts.

Bigge has been family owned and operated since its inception in 1916. The owners want team members to feel they are part of a work family that cares about one another. We are continuously thinking of new ways to show our team members that we appreciate them and value their contributions.

In our larger locations, we have monthly catered lunches for everyone in the branch, and we encourage team members to take time to eat with one another while senior leadership talks about what is currently going on throughout the organization. Speaking of eating, at our San Leandro location we offer a variety of fresh fruit and healthy snacks to keep our team members energized for the week.

To cultivate a healthy work-life balance, “One Bigge” committees were created – and team members from across the organization can join. Whether you have a passion for giving back to the community, “greening” the work environment, or health and fitness, there is a committee for it! Through these committees, we have hosted blood and food drives, a Habitat for Humanity build, donated supplies to local schools and animal shelters, subsidized Fitbits for team members, created a quarterly peer-nominated awards program, organized and attended professional sporting events together, and more. We also have on-site gym facilities and fitness classes in our larger locations.
