Building for the Final Frontier. 🚀 In the 1990 Building for the Final Frontier. 🚀

In the 1990s, Kitchell built a lab for @NASA's  Jet Propulsion Laboratory so precise, it could simulate space.

Vibration? Measured in microns. Air? Filtered to near perfection.

Inside, scientists developed optics that would travel billions of miles—including on the Cassini mission to Saturn.

We weren’t just building a facility—we were building the future. And we still are.

That’s how many male construction workers die by suicide each year—nearly 4x the national average.

It’s a sobering reminder for our industry: safety isn’t just vests and hard hats. It’s mental health, too.

This week, as we recognize Construction Safety Week and Mental Health Awareness Month, our jobsites took a pause for safety—and our People Experience Team hit the road to connect with employees across Kitchell, sharing resources and reminding everyone: you’re not alone.

Let’s protect what can’t be seen. Mental health matters. Let’s talk.
