RTG Building Services marks 10 years with 115-plus employees and growing federal work

RTG Building Services is celebrating its 10th anniversary in Omaha after growing from a local startup into a building maintenance contractor with more than 115 employees and a widening public-sector footprint. The company says it plans to keep hiring as it enters its second decade.

Why it matters: - RTG Building Services has grown into a larger employer in Omaha, with more than 115 trained professionals on staff. - The company now handles millions of square feet of facilities across the Omaha metro and beyond. - RTG’s federal contract work gives the company a broader and more stable mix of customers.

What happened: - RTG Building Services is marking its 10th anniversary. - Ramiro Gaitan founded the Omaha-based company in 2016. - RTG has expanded from a local business into a commercial cleaning, post-construction cleaning and federal janitorial contractor. - Gaitan said he started the company to build something Omaha could count on and that RTG plans to keep hiring across the metro as it enters its second decade.

The details: - RTG employs more than 115 trained professionals. - The company maintains millions of square feet of facilities throughout the Omaha metro and beyond. - Gaitan brought nearly a decade of industry experience before launching RTG. - RTG says its growth has been built around quality service, accountability and long-term customer relationships. - The company’s federal work includes janitorial services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District. - RTG also provides specialized window washing at Offutt Air Force Base. - RTG provides custodial support for the Transportation Security Administration at Eppley Airfield. - The company holds multi-year contracts at General Services Administration sites in Nebraska, Iowa and Arizona. - RTG is a certified 8(a) small business, which allows it to compete for federal set-aside contracts. - RTG Building Services provides commercial janitorial services, post-construction cleaning and commercial painting to federal, state, municipal and private clients.

Between the lines: - The 8(a) certification is a key part of RTG’s growth strategy because it opens access to set-aside federal work. - The mix of local, regional and federal contracts suggests RTG is trying to balance steady maintenance business with higher-value government accounts. - The anniversary announcement also signals that the company is positioning itself as a long-term Omaha employer, not just a contract vendor.

What's next: - RTG plans to continue hiring across the Omaha metro. - The company enters its second decade with an expanding government portfolio and existing contracts in multiple states. - Further growth will likely hinge on winning more public-sector work while keeping its commercial client base.
