Approaching its 100th anniversary, Sargent Corporation has been a pillar of Maine’s heavy civil construction industry since its founder, Herbert E. Sargent, began hiring out his REO dump truck during Maine’s warmer months. What started as a one-truck operation has grown into a company of over 525 employee-owners working across New England and the Mid-Atlantic. Headquartered in Orono, Maine, Sargent operates from regional offices in Fremont, New Hampshire; Ashland, Virginia; and Greensboro, North Carolina. The company specializes in site work, airport and highway construction, landfill projects, underground utility installations, renewable energy projects, environmental remediation, steel fabrication, and the supply of aggregates and asphalt.
