Wanzek Construction, Inc., founded in 1971 by Leo Wanzek in Fargo, North Dakota, has established itself as a leader in heavy civil and concrete construction, with a strong focus on the renewable energy sector. Initially, the company specialized in road and bridge construction but quickly diversified into various construction markets, including swimming pools and industrial projects. Over the years, Wanzek has expanded its services and capabilities, particularly in the renewable energy landscape, offering Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services for wind power, solar energy, and energy storage projects.
In 2008, Wanzek became a subsidiary of MasTec, Inc., a Miami-based construction firm. This acquisition heralded a new chapter for Wanzek as it retained its identity and continued to grow under the MasTec umbrella. With its vision centered around delivering excellence, Wanzek has successfully completed numerous large-scale projects throughout the Midwestern United States and has rapidly expanded its presence in the renewable energy market.
At the heart of Wanzek’s success is its commitment to safety and employee development. The company prioritizes a culture of safety, aiming for zero injuries at work, and invests heavily in training and recruiting skilled talent through apprenticeship programs registered with the Department of Labor. As Wanzek continues to evolve, it focuses on fostering long-term relationships with clients and delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions tailored to customer needs. With a rich history spanning over 50 years, Wanzek has grown into a billion-dollar enterprise, making it one of the top contractors in the clean energy sector across North America.
