Careers & Open Positions
Bakker Construction is a design-build firm serving the Monterey Peninsula, specializing in custom homes, remodeling, and improvement projects where both the finished product and the experience of living through the process matter deeply.
Our mission is to transform our clients’ vision into reality through a seamless, collaborative design-build journey—by understanding their routines, aspirations, and lifestyle; crafting spaces that reflect who they are; and delivering a process that families can actually live through with clarity and trust.

We define ourselves not simply as a contractor, but as a trusted partner—one that families rely on to enter their homes, take responsibility for complexity, and deliver work with care, professionalism, and high standards.

We lead with integrity, prioritize service, value collaboration, and hold ourselves to high standards of craftsmanship and professionalism. Our Superintendents are trusted leaders, supported by thoughtful planning, clear communication, and a cohesive team environment where design and production work together.
