WORKING AT R.W. MURRAY CO.:

What is the best part about working at R.W. Murray Co.? 

The employees are awesome!

I chose the construction industry because? 

I’ve been doing accounting work in other fields and thought I would give this field a try… and I love it.

I can’t really pick just one moment, just seeing all of the employee events, and how everyone treats each other, makes me proud.

How do you balance your career at R.W. Murray Co. and family? 

Give quality time to both.

If you could switch your job with anyone else within R.W. Murray Co., whose job would you want? 

I like mine!
