In 1992, he acquired ESI, a dormant company, and set out to revitalize it. With just four employees, Tom Hill CEO focused on rebuilding the company from the ground up. His commitment to growth and excellence led to significant expansion, and today, ESI Construction employs more than 1,100 individuals. Hill’s dedication to his employees is evident in the company’s provision of fully employer-paid medical and dental insurance for all staff, ensuring their health and well-being.

Under Thomas D. Hill’s leadership, ESI Construction has earned a reputation for delivering quality projects, emphasizing safety, and fostering strong client relationships.
