“One of the core strengths of our company lies in the hands of the hardworking individuals in the field,” said Brandon Howard, General Superintendent. “This new structure is more than a change in hierarchy… it’s a commitment to promote, hire, and develop continuous learning craftsmen in every position and provide the opportunity for our employees to grow with the company while achieving their personal definition of success.”

As part of this initiative, twelve superintendents have been promoted. Five team members were elevated to Superintendent II roles: Aaron Gaither, Dale Jansen, Jacob Schmitz, Rick Walkenhorst, and Todd Murray.
