At first glance, there’s nothing remarkable at Ken Garff. Our uniforms aren’t flashy, and our buildings look a lot like the competition. You may not see it right at first, but if you listen you’ll hear. Because listening isn’t just something we do; it’s how we show that what we absolutely value the most (more than buildings or uniforms) is our people. We thrive on treating them right. We’re just different that way.

Join us as a new Manager Systems Administrator and help us continue our vison started by Ken Garff in 1932. We need you.

You're in for a great ride (excuse the car metaphor)
