Jill, on never leaving
Born and raised in Cameron. Third generation. Thirty-one years at EBCO GC. What it looks like when staying is the choice.
EBCO is a commercial general contractor that’s been headquartered in Cameron since 1996. They work in 23 states from a town most people on their job sites have never heard of. The portfolio runs to more than 675 projects and over 13 million square feet across multifamily, commercial, industrial, hospitality, healthcare, and public-sector work.
“‘How do you do that from Cameron, Texas?’ We just never thought about that.” — John Egger, CEO, EBCO GC
That’s the question John Egger hears, more often than not. The answer is the work doesn’t require the city. The talent does. EBCO solves for that by maintaining a Bryan/College Station office an hour away and recruiting Texas A&M graduates straight into the company.
Cameron offers a base of operations that costs less, a community small enough that your neighbors know your kids, and access to a top-tier talent pipeline an hour up the road.
“Everyone was just so friendly towards our autistic son, which does not happen very often.” — Jamie de Grasse, CFO
