Company History:

Soukup Construction was founded in 1963 with a bulldozer and a pick-up truck. Carl & Marietta Soukup started the business in Scotland, SD, moved to Irene, and settled in Sioux Falls in 1973. Soukup Construction grew as a family business in the 1970’s and 80’s. Their son, Jim, was promoted to President in the 1990’s. Now in its sixth location, Soukup Construction moved to a state-of-the-art facility in 2016 with 100 employees and over 300 pieces of late model construction equipment.

At Soukup Construction, we are interested in hiring safety-minded employees. We continually strive to be one of the safest earth moving companies in the area. Each month we have employee-led safety meetings as well as weekly tool box talks. In addition, employees attend annual re-certification training for the various types of work that we perform. Soukup Construction is proud of its safety history and has received many awards from various regulating agencies to prove it.
