Stanley Orr Jr. grew up in Stayton and knew from a young age that he wanted own a business in heavy civil construction. After high school, he started his career as a carpenter apprentice.

He gained five years of experience in contracting and another five years as an inspector for the city of Portland. He described the latter as “an accelerated experience in heavy civil construction work, from a different perspective, one which most contractors do not have.”

In 2021, he started Turner-based ORR Inc. with his father, Stanley E. Orr Sr., and his uncle Paul Orr, both of whom have worked in the industry since the late 1980s.

“I’m very fortunate to have such experienced and skilled partners in the two of them. Many families cannot work together, but we all work together very well,” Orr Jr. said, adding he also wanted to show appreciation to his mentor, Bill Martinak.
