Work History

Senior Journeyman in Foundation Repair

Epp Concrete
11.2023 - Current

Over the past nine months at Epp, I have advanced from an apprentice to a senior journeyman in foundation repair. My progression has been marked by increased responsibilities and a leadership role as my foreman's second-in-command.

In my current position, I am tasked with a range of responsibilities that include:

  • Executing all job site tasks safely, efficiently, and to the customer's satisfaction.
  • Coordinating with the sales team and foreman to address special instructions and ensure all required materials are brought and used.
  • Maintaining the cleanliness and organization of the work truck.
  • Reading job binders and blueprints to ensure accurate and precise work.
  • Facilitating effective communication with coworkers and leaders in the foreman's absence.
  • Engaging with customers to address their needs and concerns through out our time at their homes.
  • Handling difficult or upset customers professionally and with respect in order to ensure satisfaction.

My strong work ethic and communication skills have been important in completing projects on schedule while achieving high levels of customer satisfaction. One area I have grown in is my ability to communicate with customers so they are well aware of everything that is going on at all times. I have also been able to reassure customers that any concerns they may have will be solved to their specific needs. I have met with many satisfied customers who have had positive things to say about how well I maintain their homes and represent the company well. I have also talked with a lot of customers who were not happy at first, but after speaking with them we were able to come up with solutions to their problems and resolve any doubts they might have had.

Concrete Finisher

Kremer Concrete
05.2023 - 11.2023

Kremer Concrete was a concrete flatwork company run by two of my older brothers, and I was the first person to join the team after I finished my first year of college. Given that the whole company was run by three people I had to learn every skill and perform every task on any given job.

Some of those tasks include:

  • Going on sales calls to meet with new or potential clients in order to create new jobs and more business.
  • Being responsible for the maintaining, loading, and driving of a work truck.
  • Communication with customers so their needs and expectations were met.
  • Communication with other companies and businesses to ensure we had all needed materials in the right place at the right time.
  • Set wood and other forming materials to prepare for concrete pours.
  • Installed rebar and molded expansion joints and edges for concrete projects.
  • Demolished and repaired old concrete surfaces.
  • Mixed, spread, and patched concrete to any needed specification.

This job was physically and mentally demanding, and helped me to really grow in my communication skills, work ethic, and customer service skills. With a brand new and small company, time efficiency is the most important focus. I had to learn to balance a busy work schedule at multiple job site locations while keeping multiple customers happy. On top of that I had to meet with potential customers on sales calls at any given time of day. This fast paced work environment helped me to create good habits of staying on top of my work and communicating, as well as teaching me the importance of being a self motivated and driven individual.
