Roeslein & Associates is dedicated to the training and talent development of both new and current employees. Roeslein believes in providing career paths and the necessary resources so that employees can continue to grow with the company.
Steve Figueroa, Vice President of Global Construction, believes that providing long-term career opportunities strengthens Roeslein’s employee base. He said: “Being able to provide a career path for employees, regardless of department, is very important. It only strengthens us as an organization in the future because they already have prior knowledge of Roeslein’s processes and products. It shortens the learning curve compared to someone from outside the company.”
Examples of Roeslein’s commitment to talent development include numerous team members who have moved from manufacturing to construction management and engineering positions, now leading site teams and managing multi-million dollar projects.
Phil Sieberg and Doug Wedge began their careers at Roeslein in the Red Bud, Illinois manufacturing plant, where they worked in the pipe welding department. After learning first-hand about Roeslein products in the workshop, they went on to take jobs in Roeslein’s St. Louis office. Matt Worley, Construction Superintendent I, also started with Roeslein at the Red Bud fabrication plant, specializing in structural steel fabrication. In 2016, the three men were transferred to construction specialist roles in Roeslein’s St. Louis office. Because they have in-depth experience in making the product that is delivered to the customer, they are able to detect any potential problems and mitigate them during installation.
“By applying their craft from the shop floor and taking it to the field, these guys can use their insight to avoid potential problems that could have cost time and money during the installation process,”
said Construction Manager – Americas, Eric Valin. “Through exposure and understanding the ins and outs of the products and processes, these guys have gotten to where they are today.”
These men are just a few examples of the many who have moved from the fabrication shop to construction management. Thanks to Roeslein’s commitment to talent development, employees have the opportunity to grow with the company, creating a strong employee base that thrives on continuous improvement.
