Founded as the Riggs-Linthicum Company in 1909, our original charge mission was to represent manufacturers in the sale of materials for “buildings, railroads, and other purposes.” Over the years, Riggs Distler helped construct some of the most notable buildings in the United States, including the Empire State Building, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Federal Reserve Building, the Library of Congress, the Internal Revenue Service headquarters, The Breakers Hotel, the National Constitution Center, and hundreds of power plants, government facilities, refineries, and industrial facilities throughout the eastern United States. In 2021, we joined Centuri Group, Inc., a comprehensive utility infrastructure enterprise serving gas and electric providers across North America. Our 100 years of experience stand behind Centuri’s 100-year plan and vision for long-term sustainability. Riggs Distler & Company, Inc. (A Centuri Company), remains a Maryland-incorporated company with headquarters in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and numerous branch offices up and down the Eastern United States. We’re proud of our tradition of success over more than 110 consecutive years of service, and we aim to build our future by focusing on the values that got us here: reliability, safety, and a commitment to hiring and supporting the industry’s best staff. As we embark on our next century of service, we thank the clients we’ve been able to serve on so many successful projects. We look forward to helping you build for the future.

Pros: I've found Riggs Distler to be a reputable company in the utility construction sector. The projects are significant, contributing to essential infrastructure, which is rewarding. In the field, there's a real sense of camaraderie and a strong team mentality that makes the challenging work more manageable. Opportunities to learn and advance within the trades are definitely present if you show initiative.
Cons: While field operations are well-supported, sometimes communication from the main office can be a bit slow, especially regarding scheduling changes or administrative updates. During peak project times, the workload can be quite intense, making work-life balance a bit strained. However, this is typical for the industry, and management does try to balance things out when possible.
Advice to Management: Improve communication channels between field operations and administrative departments, especially for last-minute schedule adjustments. Consider offering more proactive professional development resources for field staff looking to move into supervisory roles.
