A Message From Our CEO
For more than a century, JT THORPE has been at the forefront of industrial construction, serving as a trusted partner to clients across the nation. Our work spans maintenance, capital projects, outages, turnarounds, and new construction, all supported by a workforce of over 10,000 skilled craftsmen who are ready to mobilize wherever we are needed.
Our story began in 1906, when J.T. Thorpe & Son, Inc. was founded in San Francisco to help rebuild the city after the devastation of the Great San Francisco Earthquake. Just two years later, we completed our first major industrial installation for Standard Oil in Richmond, California. From those early days, we’ve grown into one of the largest and most respected specialty contractors in the United States, serving a wide range of industries and delivering projects of every size and complexity.
What has sustained us for more than a century is our unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and reliability. Over seventy-five percent of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals, a testament to the relationships we’ve built and the trust we’ve earned. We know that every project we undertake is more than just a scope of work — it’s a promise to deliver on time, on budget, and without compromise.
At JT THORPE, our mission is simple: no matter the scale, timeline, or challenges of a project, we will get it done — and get it done right. We bring together the experience, the resources, and the dedication to ensure every client’s vision becomes a reality. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on building lasting partnerships, advancing industry standards, and delivering results that stand the test of time.
We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and to adding your success story to the legacy of JT THORPE.
