McCourt Construction,
building bridges
– literally and figuratively –
since 1893.

At McCourt Construction we understand that companies don’t last 115 years by burning bridges, but by building them.  That’s why McCourt has been reaching out to the communities in which we live and work since our founding.  We are dedicated to improving the lives of those communities wherever and whenever McCourt does business. 

Equal Opportunity Employment Policy

The McCourt Construction Company and its affiliates provide equal opportunity in hiring, training, promotions, and compensation for all employees without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, handicap, or marital status.  Each new or potential employee is made aware of this policy.  A copy of our Equal Opportunity Employment Policy is available upon request.

Building Communities

At McCourt, we are committed to improving the communities in which we live and work. And the best way to do that is often by simply doing what we do best – building stuff.  As such, McCourt frequently donates equipment, materials, and personnel free of charge or below-cost for community improvements.  Recent examples include, a Habitat for Humanity home in Whitman, MA, the expansion of a home for needy children in Brockton, MA; a grammar school playground in Hingham, MA; and, a church playground in North Andover, MA.

Cleaning Our Cities

McCourt Construction is committed to supporting efforts to clean and maintain our urban areas.  To bolster these worthwhile initiatives McCourt frequently donates equipment and material and encourages employees to contribute to cleanup efforts. 

On May 14^th, 1984, Richard McCourt was featured alongside Mayor Raymond Flynn on the front page of the Metro Section of the Boston Sunday Globe.  McCourt Construction had partnered with laborers' Local 223 and community residents to cleanup several Boston neighborhoods.  McCourt donated 8 dump trucks, 16 front end loaders, 12 pickups and encouraged its employees – from management to field laborers – to participate.  Mayor Flynn praised the effort for showing “a commitment to the people in this neighborhood and to the people in this city.”  A full text of the article can be accesse here.  

In the spring of 1998, the City of Quincy kicked off a “Cleaner, Greener Quincy” campaign to remove debris from the city’s parks, playgrounds, beaches and open spaces.  McCourt Construction stepped in as a lead sponsor of the event which involved over 800 people and removed more than 200 tons of debris.  Mayor Jim Sheets lauded McCourt’s contribution to the event and acknowledged that the city is “much cleaner and greener thanks to (McCourt Construction’s) participation.”

Recognizing Our Nation’s Heroes

McCourt recognizes and appreciates the contributions of our nation’s veterans.  On several occasions, McCourt has organized volunteer personnel and labor, and donated equipment and materials to erect memorials to these heroes.  Prominent examples include the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorials in Cambridge, Somerville and Dorchester, MA. 

Training Tomorrow’s Contractors Today

McCourt Construction is actively involved in supporting the education of tomorrow’s engineers and contractors.  McCourt Construction has endowed a scholarship through The Utility Contractors of New England (UCANE) in the memory of our third-generation CEO, the late Frank McCourt.  In addition, the McCourt family recently established a permanently endowed scholarship at Boston College.  And, every year McCourt Construction employs a lucky group of co-op students from the Wentworth Institute of Technology and Northeastern University for on-the-job training in engineering and construction roles. 

Charitable Contributions

McCourt Construction contributes to several charities on an annual basis.  Some notable examples include:

The McCourt Foundation:  This Boston-based charity has raised over $1,500,000 for Multiple Sclerosis & Alzheimer’s Disease.  McCourt Construction is a strong supporter of the Foundation, and Ryan McCourt serves on its Board of Directors.  For more information or to support the McCourt Foundation, please visit www.mccourtfoundation.org.

Jobs for Bay State Grads:  JBSG is a state-wide non-profit working to ensure the graduation and subsequent employment of at-risk high school students.  McCourt Construction supports this effort and Virginia McCourt sits on the Board of Directors of Jobs for Bay State Grads.  For more information or to support JBSG, please visit www.jag.org/massachusetts. 

In addition, each Christmas McCourt runs an employee contribution drive during which the company matches employee contributions dollar for dollar.  A list of charities that McCourt has recently made donations to can be found below.
