Russell is a professional services firm providing construction and development services across the Midwest. Since its inception in 1983, Russell's culture promotes a collaborative work environment that strives to exceed our clients' expectations and provide life-time career opportunities for our professionals.
The history of Russell begins much like any other story - a man, a dream and a business card. James V. Russell founded Russell Construction Company, Inc. in 1983 upon graduating from Iowa State University. The economy was in decline and Jim had a desire to take a risk and be his own boss. Armed with a stack of business cards and $10,000, Jim opened up shop in Bettendorf, Iowa.
The concept of building smart and cost effectively is ingrained in our roots. Our teams are focused on being your advocate and a knowledgeable resource, no matter where you are in the construction process. We embrace a wide range of delivery methods used by owners today and cherish the opportunity to lead you through your construction journey.
By retaining the best people, in 2025 Russell will be the preferred partner by our clients offering fully integrated services in our chosen markets. People are our single greatest asset. We are committed to creating a fun, fulfilling work environment and providing growth opportunities for all team members.

The hiring process was very hectic. I was offered the job and it took almost 3 weeks before I heard another thing about when to start. When I finally did start and the business was just trying to get up and running. They were creating a new company called My Butler. The company seems like it has potential to be a good thing. The work environment is very stressful as it is women who tend not to be 100% honest with each other.
A lot of negative talk occurred about other employees. Just be cautious because no matter what you do there's a potential to be fired for no reason. And when asked why they will tell you they do not have to give you a reason.
