ABC ROCKY MOUNTAIN LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE & JOB BOARD TO BUILD THE CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE

5/7/2019

0 Comments

 
With over 440,000 jobs needing to be filled in the construction industry this year (US Department of Labor, 2019), ABC is at the forefront of creating workforce development initiatives. They are building the workforce through the merit shop philosophy: that projects and personal advancement should be awarded based on performance, skills and achievement.
 
“Connecting people to amazing careers is important for our industry,” said ABC Rocky Mountain Chapter President & CEO Doug Carlson. “ABC helps our members develop people for the betterment of our communities.”
 
ABC Rocky Mountain Chapter (ABCRMC) is committed to developing this future workforce and has launched new tools informing job seekers about the benefits of going into careers in construction and directing them to a job board so they can directly apply for careers with ABC Members.
 
BuildYourFutureRockyMountain.com is a resource for high school students, transitioning military veterans and any job seekers to learn more about the benefits of pursuing a career in construction and to easily apply. The website gives an overview of the different entry-level trade opportunities for applicants, lays out how much they can make in said trades, promotes opportunities for career advancement within the industry and more! One page of the site targets high school students by outlining the benefits of going into construction careers instead of the traditional post-secondary educational route due to the mass amounts of loans students incur. Another page targets military veterans who can build on their military service by receiving credentials for their military training which makes them more marketable to employers.
 
The website is also linked to Rocky Mountain Construction Careers Job Board, which can be found at Careers.abcrmc.org. The site is powered by ZipRecruiter, rated #1 by employers in the US. Jobs posted on Rocky Mountain Construction Careers are posted to over 100 job boards across the country to help employers hire amazing talent to build amazing companies.
 
These resources were made possible by ABCRMC’s staff and regional workforce development committees throughout the state. To thanks members for their time and dedication to these initiatives, ABC members receive two complimentary posts. Contact the chapter for more information.
 
To learn more about how to get involved with a committee and ABCRMC’s workforce development initiatives, visit abcrmc.org.

ABC ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOSTS SAFETY CONFERENCE & AWARDS LUNCHEON

5/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Denver, CO – The Associated Builders and Contractors Rocky Mountain Chapter (ABCRMC) hosted their annual Safety Conference & Awards Luncheon last Thursday, May 2, 2019 at the Westin in Westminster. The purpose of the event was to educate members and recognize those who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to safety.
 
The morning began with a breakfast featuring keynote speaker, Lori Frederic of Balance Biomechanics, who presented on the importance of stretching and ergonomics to avoid injury and ultimately improve employee health and safety.
 
Following breakfast, participants had the opportunity to attend two of the following educational sessions offered:
  • “Changes to the ANSI Standards” led by Scott Seppers of Trivent Safety Consulting
  • “Complacency and its Impact on the Company Bottom Line” led by Adam Kickish and Audrey Sevalt of Barrett Business Services, Inc. (BBSI)
  • “Drones on Jobsites” led by Adam Monk of ARC
  • “Suicide Prevention/Man Therapy” led by Jarrod Hindman from the Suicide Prevention Resource Center
  • “Drugs in the Workplace” led by Kristina Hogan of KCG Drug & Alcohol Solutions
  • “Protection of the Public on and near Construction Sites” led by Troy Clark of MSC Safety Solutions
 
After attending the educational sessions, attendees moved into an awards luncheon to recognize workforce development efforts and ABCRMC members’ commitment to safety. The safety awards were presented to member individuals and companies who showed exceptional safety efforts in their categories.
 
BOB PIPER CONSTRUCTION EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS                                                                                      
Eighteen years ago, the Rocky Mountain chapter took steps toward building the construction workforce by creating a scholarship fund to aid students who will be continuing their education in a construction related field. This year the chapter raised over $15,000, which was awarded to the following scholarship recipients:
  • Hernan Gonzalez-Samaniego from Loveland, CO will be attending Aims Community College to pursue a degree in Construction Management.
  • Carter Kiel from Sterling High School will be attending Hastings College to study Construction Management.
  • Michael S. Groome from South Park High School will be attending University of Colorado, Colorado Springs to study Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
  • Morgan Rose from Mancos High School will attend Pueblo Community College to pursue a degree in Welding.

INDIVIDUAL AWARDS                                                                                                                                                                              Tony Dietrich Safety Professional of the Year
Dave Ruddy, Pinkard Construction
Dave has been invaluable to the process of rebuilding a proactive and positive safety culture at Pinkard that is unmatched. His most recent initiative is conducting audio-visual toolbox talks on each jobsite. Using av equipment onsite, Dave delivers far more impactful toolbox talks that bring greater employee participation. His leadership, knowledge, dedication, and professionalism is second to none, and he is very deserving of recognition for the positive difference he is making in his industry.

Outstanding Field Professional of the Year
Logan Doolen, Duro Electric
Logan has built a strong foundation of trust and integrity on all the projects he has been a part of. His commitment to building strong relationships with his crew, other trades, general contractor partners, and the customer has led Duro to profitable jobs and additional contract work. He is often asked specifically to oversee projects by the general contractor because of his attitude and leadership. He is conscious of the safety and health for all workers on the project, not just those employed by Duro. Every task is thought out, planned, and executed with safety in mind.
