Our Employees
Wright-Ryan employees are our most valuable asset. Investing in their development and future strengthens the team, provides advancement opportunities, and leads to higher quality results for our customers. We achieve this by offering internal training programs and the opportunity for external learning and partnerships.
Our History
Tom Wright and John Ryan, our founding partners, grew up as childhood friends. Though they found their early careers satisfying, their discussions inevitably landed on a missing key ingredient: working alongside people who cared about each other and shared a commitment to excellence. The idea of Wright-Ryan, a relationship-driven construction firm, hatched from these discussions. Thirty-five years later Wright-Ryan has grown into one of the largest and most respected construction firms in northern New England.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Wright-Ryan continues to push the envelope, finding new ways to deliver high performance buildings for our clients and our communities. Whether you decide to pursue LEED, Passive House, Living Building Challenge or any level in between, we believe sustainability in any price range is achievable and the benefits to our clients are well worth it.
