About Us

Wiseman Excavating is a family-owned civil construction company. Civil construction for the Wiseman family started in 1960 with Jay Wiseman working out of Local 132 Operating Engineers for multiple construction companies.

Jay helped construct John Amos Power Plant, set steel on several bridges along Interstate 64, and was well known throughout the industry throughout his years.

Jay’s son, Brad started logging at age 21 and expanded into civil construction over the past 20 years. In 2010, Brad’s son Joe obtained a Civil Engineering Degree from WV Tech and went on to earn a professional engineering license.

The blending of the education and experiences of our officers makes Wiseman Excavating a well-rounded civil construction firm.
