Aristeo Values Award

Aristeo Values Awards are a prestigious internal recognition given to team members who embody our values of safety, integrity, excellence, ingenuity, grit and comradery. At our recent Town Hall, we celebrated 15 team members for their dedication and success.

Safety

The foremost of our core values, our safety award honors those who are dedicated to proactive safety leadership.

Tyler Blohm, Fabrication Shop Supervisor

Tyler has done a great job in supporting our award-winning safety culture in the fabrication shop. From onboarding new hires, to the daily safety messaging, to being engaged and proactive in safety processes, Tyler takes initiative and addresses any safety concerns immediately. The fabrication shop has maintained an impeccable safety record, and Tyler’s leadership helped make that possible.

Ed DeRocher Sr., Superintendent

Ed has done an excellent job in helping our safety team on an out-of-town project, especially with his plan of the day (POD) meetings. In these meetings, safety is always highlighted first and leadership from every subcontractor attends. Ed ensures strong communication, coordination, and planning of critical events on the project from a safety perspective, and takes proactive measures to keep everyone safe onsite.

 Integrity

Integrity is pervasive throughout our company. This award honors those who display honesty, accountability and always doing the right thing.

Claire LaPointe, Senior Human Resources Generalist

As an HR representative with a knack for talent acquisition, Claire demonstrates strong integrity through her hard work and relentless commitment to enhancing our company’s workforce and culture. She has distinguished herself not only by finding and recruiting top talent and bringing on over 50 new hires in the last year, but also by advocating passionately for what makes Aristeo an exceptional place to work.

Nick Ownby, Senior Project Manager

Nick shows extreme professionalism and is a team player. He looks out for everyone’s best interests and is fair in all matters.  He is dedicated to his job, holds himself to very high standards, and is well respected by our team members and customers alike.  

Excellence

We always strive for excellence at Aristeo. This award honors those who achieve that goal and deliver an unrivaled customer experience.

Rob Esmay, Project Manager

Rob is a great leader with excellent communication skills with both team members and customers. His strong customer service and relationships with clients has led to repeat business. Rob recognizes the team’s contributions and is happy to share the credit for a job well done.

Aleasha Link, Safety Manager

Aleasha did a tremendous job as the safety representative for a recent project. It is the largest, most complex project she has ever been assigned to and she did not disappoint. We have received incredibly positive feedback from team members, clients and subcontractors on how helpful, supportive and effective she was in leading our safety program onsite.

Ingenuity

A hallmark of Aristeo’s construction solutions is how we apply ingenuity to all we do. This award honors those who provide bold, forward-thinking solutions.

Chris Archer, Superintendent

Chris has fully embraced the rollout of a new project management software as a field leader. Not only does he use it himself daily, he will push the office staff to upload certain items, add him to job folders, etc. He has been a champion for the technology solution.

Joda Kus, Superintendent

Joda has always been experienced with layout using our robotic total stations, including supporting and establishing accurate controls for jobs with GPS Model Building. He was responsible for the layout and install at a recent project with 100 percent success on location and elevation—with thousands of anchor bolts across the site, we did not have to adjust or move any anchor bolts. 

Grit

Our team is known for their incredible work ethic, and this award honors those who showcase pride, perseverance and hard work.

Ethan Antonishak, Senior Project Engineer

As a key onsite estimating representative at an out-of-town jobsite, Ethan has tackled everything thrown his way from pricing smaller onsite projects and budgets to large-scale bulletins and packages, all with extremely tight deadlines. He regularly coordinates complicated changes in scope, schedule and pricing between subcontractors, the operations team and the owner, and can always be counted on to get the work on his plate completed accurately, on time and without complaint. 

Travis Kellems, Senior Project Engineer

From learning new roles, to taking the initiative to fill a vacancy in a leadership role, Travis has always been someone we can count on to step up to challenges on short notice and excel. He puts in the hard work and effort to accomplish what needs to be done, seeks opportunities to learn and grow, and always looks out for the company and team’s best interests. 

Comradery

Aristeo’s culture is of the utmost importance, both on the job and off, and this award honors those who best exemplify collaboration, trust and winning together.

Zach Gorman, Assistant Project Manager

Scott Kazura, Senior Project Manager

Scott and Zach embody the true meaning of collaboration by actively involving the entire team in decision-making processes. They seek input and encourage open discussions, ensuring that all team members feel valued and heard. They both demonstrate a willingness to support others and provide guidance whenever needed, and their open communication and honest decisions have led to a strong sense of trust within our team and with our trade partners.   

Nick Jones, Superintendent

Nick’s comradery is evident when you first step onsite. Through thick and thin, Nick has moved the project forward through weather delays, delivery issues, and numerous other challenges, all while keeping morale at an all-time high. The leadership Nick has facilitated in the field has been positive and productive, and he earns the respect of all team members and clients onsite.

One Aristeo

As a growing business with projects across the nation, it is more important than ever to stay connected. This award honors those who emphasize teamwork and working across project teams.

Jordan Cloud, IT Helpdesk Technician

Jordan is ALWAYS available to help troubleshoot any IT problem that arises. He is quick to respond, offers exceptional customer service, and takes the time to follow up and provide status updates. Jordan has never hesitated to jump in and help with setting up a virtual meeting, making sure conference rooms are ready to go, providing training, or traveling to keep our jobsites up and running.

Tom Morgan, Equipment Manager

Tommy has taken on his new role with a focus on consistency, cost effectiveness, and most importantly, working together as one team. He engages and communicates with all departments and team members, finds solutions that work for everyone, and is always willing to lend a hand on tasks both large and small. His big picture thinking and dedication to the One Aristeo mindset has been critical to our success.
