Includ­ing pre­de­ces­sor com­pa­nies, Dick has worked at Schild­berg Con­struc­tion Com­pa­ny since 1966. He has held sev­er­al dif­fer­ent posi­tions with­in the com­pa­ny and cur­rent­ly serves as an aglime sales­man and also scales and loads trucks at the quar­ries dur­ing the off-season.

I’m hap­py to be going to work at five in the morn­ing. I enjoy run­ning the scales and load­ers in the sum­mer, and I get to meet and vis­it a lot of dif­fer­ent peo­ple. The Com­pa­ny has treat­ed me well with good insur­ance and good ben­e­fits for retire­ment. I’m not one that likes to change jobs. Oth­er peo­ple have retired and have done real­ly well. As long as I enjoy what I’m doing, I’m going to keep doing it.”

Andrew Binau

Andrew has worked at Schild­berg Con­struc­tion Com­pa­ny for eight years, serv­ing in a vari­ety of roles.

I made my way through the ranks. I start­ed as a truck dri­ver and was then pro­mot­ed to lab tech­ni­cian. Then, I worked as a driller and am now a super­in­ten­dent. I like the work envi­ron­ment at Schild­berg Con­struc­tion. I like to be out­doors, and I enjoy being busy. It’s reward­ing work, and I have great co-workers.”

Cory Leslie

Cory has worked at Schild­berg Con­struc­tion Com­pa­ny for eight years, start­ing as a truck dri­ver. He was lat­er pro­mot­ed to driller and is now a mechanic.

I’ve learned a lot work­ing at Schild­berg Con­struc­tion. I love the hours, and I’ve been able to sup­port my fam­i­ly. Since being pro­mot­ed, I’ve been able to dri­ve a mechan­ic’s truck between home and work.”

Roger Sennett

Roger has worked at Schild­berg Con­struc­tion Com­pa­ny for over 48 years, from his first day on the job on April 16, 1973 to his retire­ment on Feb. 4, 2022. Through­out that time, Roger has worked as a quar­ry truck dri­ver. He oper­at­ed a bull­doz­er and loader off and on and also worked as a plant­man for 20 years.

I was a mem­ber of the U.S. Army Reserve when I was hired, and I was always sup­port­ed in that. I retired from the Army Reserve after 25 years, and I nev­er expect­ed I would stay at one job that long. I’ve enjoyed work­ing at Schild­berg Con­struc­tion because it’s fam­i­ly-ori­ent­ed. They took care of my fam­i­ly when I went to war in Oper­a­tions Desert Shield and Storm.”
