Connecting With Future Builders at Timothy Christian
April 20, 2023
Today, we connected with local high school students at Timothy Christian Schools and introduced them to the various paths to build a career in construction!
We appreciate TCS for their long-time trusted partnership, and the continued opportunities to strengthen and inspire the next generation.
Earlier this month, we battled adverse weather conditions and transported two 400-ton chillers onto the roof of a Chicago high-rise!
Safely executing two #crane picks of this scale requires clear processes and meticulous pre-planning. Thanks to our team and partners that made it happen!
Last week, our team kicked off the Masters with our annual Executive mini golf tournament! Folks from both the field and office teamed up to build courses, and played each hole to compete for the lowest score!
Work hard, play hard—from building and playing the courses to sporting our best golf attire, we had a blast continuing this collaborative team-building tradition!
Showcasing Trades Careers to the Future Generation
March 29, 2023
Yesterday, Resilient Project UPSTART apprenticeship candidates had the opportunity to tour Uber’s Chicago Talent Hub at the historic Old Post Office! In line with this program’s mission to showcase construction trades as a viable career path, these students learned all about a day in the life of a Tradesperson.
A big shout out to Executive Construction team members Lee Robinson, Josh Lukoshus, and Joe Schwider for their expertise and mentorship on this tour!
When Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago shared their ambitious goal for the number of diverse suppliers on their 135,000-sf office in Chicago’s Old Post Office, our team said, “Nothing’s impossible, bring it on.” Surpassing the initial 50% goal, the Executive Construction team used 20 different diverse contractors—81% of the project spend going to women-, veteran-, and minority-owned businesses.
