Jon Bailey, President Jon has 35 years of experience in the construction industry. After studying construction management at the University of Cincinnati Jon started his own contracting company. Eventually Jon saw the need for a qualified staffing company in the construction industry and started Grus in 1990 as a sister company to a well established contracting firm. This gave Grus the skilled craftsmen resources needed to get off the ground as a new enterprise and grow into the national company it is today. Jon has hired or supervised the hiring of many 1,000's of skilled craftsmen over the years and knows firsthand the labor needs of Contractors and the best way to meet those needs. Jon teaches that talented individuals, not only in the field craft workers Grus hires but also talented staff that make up the Grus team, are vital to the success of the company and the Clients that Grus serves.
