BUILT ON TRADITION, SKILLED IN THE MODERN CONSTRUCTION WORLD

UNRELENTING IN OUR DRIVE TO BUILD A BETTER NEW YORK

Our core values are rooted in safety, skill, and sustainability for our clients and the companies they serve.

 

INTEGRITY & ACCOUNTABILITY

Honesty, integrity, and fairness are the cornerstones to our reputation. We are accountable to our employees, our customers, and the communities where our projects come to life. We take complete ownership of our work and of the impact it has on generations to come.

 

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

We are fully licensed, insured, and union-bonded and our compliance teams hold the highest certifications to meet and exceed industry safety standards. We continually evaluate risk while creating and enforcing programs to reduce hazards through best practices, up-to-date protocols, and project-specific guidelines. Safety is anchored in communication and we support transparent conversation at all levels of field and project staff.

 

COLLABORATION & TEAMWORK

Gilston exists because of our team. We start every day with a positive attitude, ready to work and collaborate with each other and our clients. We support one another and as a team, we have the ability to conquer whatever challenges confront us. Our success is dependent on our collective energy, passion, and participation.

 

INNOVATION

Gilston is committed to a future-forward approach to everything we do. We incorporate the latest innovations for construction planning, labor-saving technology, energy conservation and sustainability. We challenge our ideas of what’s possible in order to better meet the needs of our customers.

 

COMMUNITY

We are always culturally aware and community-centric. We understand how our work affects the neighborhoods where our projects come to life, so we focus on solutions that are safe, sustainable, and aligned to the cultural and physical needs of the people who live and work there.

OUR COMPANY VALUES

Combining almost a century of electrical leadership with an eye for innovation, sustainability, and efficiency, Gilston is the contractor of choice for projects like the brand new Moynihan Train Hall, the Oculus at the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, Yankee Stadium, Resorts World Casino, New York University Langone Medical Center, and the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant Cogeneration Upgrade.

As part of the Electra Group of global construction companies, we have the infrastructure and expertise to take on today’s most complex construction challenges.

 

“For an economy built to last, we must invest in what will fuel us for generations to come. This is our history – from the Transcontinental Railroad to the Hoover Dam, to the dredging of our ports and building of our most historic bridges – our American ancestors prioritized growth and investment in our nation’s infrastructure.”

– SEN. CORY BOOKER
