At Maguire, the team doesn’t just build water towers — they build the backbone of communities. As part of a leading water tank and tower fabricator, construction and maintenance company, the field construction division offers a dynamic and rewarding career path for those who seek adventure, purpose and a sense of accomplishment.

A day in the life of a field construction team member

Imagine waking up in a new town, stepping outside, and seeing a massive steel structure rising against the skyline. That’s the reality for Maguire’s field construction team members. They travel across the country, erecting water storage tanks that will serve communities with clean potable drinking water for generations.

Taylor Golden, a construction foreman with over a decade of experience in the field at Maguire, shares his experience:

“Working in the field construction division is awesome,” Golden said. “It’s exciting to travel, work outdoors, see different sites, meet people and build something that lasts.”

Each project is unique, offering new challenges and opportunities to learn. From the initial design phase to the final inspection, Maguire team members are involved in every step, ensuring quality and safety are upheld.

Building more than just tanks

Maguire prides itself on creating structures that stand the test of time. But it’s not just about the tanks — it’s about the impact they have on the communities they serve.

“I love the satisfaction that you get, especially in these smaller towns,” Golden said. “Constructing a piece of infrastructure for a community that will last over 100 years is something I take pride in.”

Maguire’s projects range from small rural towns to metropolitan areas, each presenting its own set of challenges and rewards. The work is demanding but fulfilling, and the results are tangible.

“I like the ability to come out every day and be outside and work hard,” Golden said. “When the tank is finished, it changes the skyline for the community and gives them a new landmark. Not many jobs can say that.”

A company that values its people

Maguire is more than just a workplace — it’s a team. Employees are considered the company’s greatest asset, and Maguire invests in their growth and well-being.

“Being a name instead of a number is absolutely crucial,” Golden said. “Everybody here feels that if they had an issue, they could call one of the owners, and they would really listen and care about what you have to say.”

With a strong emphasis on safety, teamwork and professional development, Maguire offers a supportive environment where employees can thrive.

“When I started at Maguire, I had minimal welding experience,” Golden said. “I started in the on-the-job training program and worked my way up to foreman. The opportunities here, if you want to work for it, are unlimited.”
