At the heart of its long-standing success is a tight-knit, family-driven culture propagated by third-generation leaders who have watched Arguijo grow to become a trusted partner for oil and gas construction and distribution projects. Today, it provides high-quality cement work, hot tap services, pipeline construction and well site support, bringing a high level of care to customers across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and Kansas.
“At Arguijo, we combine meticulous attention to detail with the ability to reliably tackle mid- to large-scale projects while delivering a personal touch that enables our clients to receive timely input from our leadership and a dedicated day-to-day team,” says Jake Hibler, director of operations, energy, Arguijo.
In a market where most vendors lean toward dedicated attention or deep industry know-how, Arguijo’s hands-on involvement and vast knowledge base make it a partner that consistently exceeds expectations. Regardless of the obstacles, team Arguijo ensures thorough task execution to persevere and deliver on its promises.
Upholding Traditional Values, with a Twist
“Our mantra is simple; we deliver what we say we will, no matter the cost,” states Hibler. “For us, the ultimate currency is client satisfaction and the reputation it allows us to forge and uphold.”
Marked by evolving approaches to project execution and shifting regulatory requirements from agencies such as the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the construction industry is experiencing a growth phase. Adapting to these changes necessitates a proactive mindset and a can-do attitude toward emerging rules and regulations.
Driven by an attitude to roll with the punches, Arguijo enables clients to address their adaptability hurdles, starting with the leadership. It supports them in adapting to the changes and maintaining operational continuum. This alignment of core values and prompt response to industry challenges positions Arguijo as a leader in navigating growth and change within the construction sector.
People-centricity and ethics stem from its well-established workforce, comprising employees with 35- to 40-year tenures who embody a wealth of experience and institutional knowledge unrivaled in the industry. Many of these professionals have served across all three generations of management, adapting to varying styles and strategies over the years. Navigating substantial transformations in the organizational culture and construction industry, they remain invaluable assets for their ability to ensure Arguijo’s continued growth through timely and impactful knowledge transfer.
Overseeing a range of responsibilities, from mentoring the newer workforce to executing precise fieldwork, the seasoned personnel continue to be the driving force behind its family-oriented workplace philosophy. The younger team members also receive dedicated attention as the company strives to keep them engaged and provides impactful opportunities for professional growth. This culture of innovation and continuous improvement, powered by an engaged and diverse workforce, is fundamental to Arguijo’s success and ability to adapt to changing industry dynamics.
More than Your Average Partner
This culture profoundly influences Arguijo’s business operations. Having previously worked for large corporations, Hibler attests to the unique familial approach and how it fosters deeper relationships with customers and employees. Extending to the newly launched civil division, helmed by his brother Jon Hibler, its emphasis on collaborative excellence enables the company to confidently take on exciting construction projects.

When things go awry, especially in the pipeline or oil field, clients need someone they can rely on. Fortunately, team Arguijo is always one call away from taking charge of a situation, rapidly addressing all issues. With full ownership of a vast equipment fleet and a dynamic team poised to mobilize at a moment’s notice, the company has repeatedly proven its mettle when clients faced unexpected challenges.
Whether in the dead of night, a holiday or a cherished birthday, Arguijo’s ethos is to always remain at the heart of an engagement. Its seasoned experts transcend time, location and terrain barriers to tackle challenges head-on and surpass client expectations.
“While the work may share similarities with others in the industry, the differentiating factor lies in our approach, which prioritizes both the tasks at hand and how they are executed,” states Hibler.
Bringing Client-Centric Excellence
Arguijo continues to prioritize growth strategies for organic and controlled expansion. It is steadfast in preserving the organizational culture and upholding high standards of service delivery instead of following the conventional approach of rapid and ostentatious scale-up. Recognizing that growth inevitably entails challenges, it is prepared to navigate unexpected issues while prioritizing a commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
Recently, it launched services for the wet utilities and earthwork sub-domains, with a dedicated division comprising full-time field and office teams executing water, sewer and storm scopes of work out of Austin Texas. This diversification will put Arguijo’s dedicated management team and workforce to the test and allow them to grow novel skills as they oversee the new division.
Guided by clear cultural and safety objectives, Arguijo is charting a course that embraces innovative opportunities to consistently meet industry standards, one project at a time.
