What is ESOP?

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a qualified retirement benefit plan that enables you to own part of the Sletten company. It allows us to set up a trust fund where we hold company shares or cash on your behalf, which you can access upon retiring or leaving Sletten after a certain tenure.

What ownership means for you

For all our employees, an ownership plan provides a rewarding career experience: we champion purpose, job satisfaction, loyalty, and a clear shot at the sort of success that can support generations to come.

What ownership means for us

Our unique ESOP structure empowers you to make an impact, but your personal stake in each project also holds you accountable to perform at your peak, every day. This means rolling up sleeves, keeping promises, and always looking for ways to improve. Our commitment to independence, responsibility, and achieving our goals is what truly sets us apart.

How ESOP works for you

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) enables employees to own part of the company they work for. Individual employees accumulate shares in their retirement accounts over time, and they cash in on those
shares when they retire or leave. All stock contributions are in addition to salary and benefits; no employee contribution is required.

The ESOP is the center point of the Sletten Benefits Plan. It aligns the goals of the employees and the company to deliver long-term success for both. The ESOP allows every employee a stake in Sletten’s success.

Environmental

The health and welfare of life on and around our site is our responsibility. From Burrowing Owls to storm water runoff, our early planning and quality control ensures our disruption to the areas we work is minimal.

Mental Health Support

Construction is a stressful industry, with workers experiencing as much as four times the rates of mental health problems compared to other occupations. At Sletten we recognize the need to make help available, and available when needed. To eliminate prohibitive waiting times between asking for help and receiving support, Sletten has partnered with Resource Employee Care. At no cost to our employees, anyone on our staff can reach out and get the help they need immediately.
