Whitaker Construction Company
The Water/Waste Water Division Manager, Ken, has had a very productive past with Whitaker since he started as laborer 19 years ago. In 2004, he was given the opportunity to become an Assistant Estimator/Project Manager while attending college. Ken quickly advanced to Project Manager while finishing his Bachelor of Science in Construction Management in 2009. It was around this time he was asked to be the Project Manager of the Spanish Fork Canyon Pipeline Phase 2 project for Central Utah Water Conservancy District, one of the Whitaker’s largest contracts ever at the time. Having been promoted to Senior Project Manager in 2019 and then to S/W Division Manager in 2020, Ken has grown into senior leadership.
