Joining the Q&D Construction team will put you on a new career path, advancing your skill sets with innovative training.
That training includes grade-stake, plan reading, concrete placement, apprentice/operator training, to excavation and shoring, along with safe driving, and forklift/ariel safety.
The facility is a hub for collaboration, growth and learning. Â
Long time employee Ed Burnet retired, then decided to rejoin the team, inspired to help young people step into the profession.
"Of course you're getting paid to learn," he said. "The difference between going into the concession industry, becoming an apprentice, going out in the field, going to work is that you're getting paid to improve yourself. Other than having to pay to go to college."
All positions earn hours for their participation in trainings. The future of construction is all hands-on deck, empowering newcomers, or current employees, who want to move up in the business.Â
Kelsey Haberger took a 180 in her career ventures and adds, "time in the seat gets you the experience you need, so coming out here is exactly that. Just getting in the seat, getting to work with controls. A lot less stress than being on road crew or anything like that. It's a lot easier to kind of be able to speak with your instructor one-on-one."
There are comprehensive courses available, structured to help you launch a career in the field. Â
Eva Horntvedt heads up the training facility and says, "we are offering any type of classes that our employees would like, and it's open to everybody. So when they sign up, they can be an apprentice or they can just be a long-time journeyman that wants to grow their skill set in different outlets."
