Hackett Industrial Services "HIS" was created to meet specialized insurance needs—not to step away from Hackett Construction & Millwright Services "HCC." We have always shared the same experience, determination, and commitment to doing the work right.

Brian Grubius and the HIS team are proud to move forward alongside Nick Thenen and HCC as one united team. Follow the Hackett Construction & Millwright Services page as we bring our people, projects, and accomplishments together in one place.

🚨 News from our parent company 🚨

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭.

We are proud to announce 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫.

Nick has known Hackett for as long as he can remember. Growing up, hard work was not something simply talked about in the Thenen family — it was expected. Under his father, Jerry “Big Jerry” Thenen, Nick learned early what it meant to show up, work hard, take responsibility, and earn your place.

𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞, 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞.

He began working for the company as a youth and has been a full-time member of the Hackett team since 2003. A 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞, Nick has spent more than two decades building his own experience from the field up — working alongside our crews, managing projects, serving customers, and learning the business firsthand.

Nick represents the 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭, following his grandfather Fred Thenen Sr., his father Jerry “Big Jerry” Thenen, and his brother Jerry “JT” Thenen.

All three have since passed, making this an especially meaningful chapter in Hackett’s history. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟐𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧.

The Board also extends its sincere appreciation to Thad Homister for his leadership and commitment during this transition. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 and will continue focusing on project management and taking care of our customers.

True to a friendship between our families that has spanned decades, Thad stepped forward when Hackett needed him most. Following the losses of both Jerry and JT, he answered the call in more ways than one. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐝, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬.

Please join us in congratulating Nick as he takes the lead at Hackett Construction.

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭.

Holtec is redefining the future of nuclear energy on a global scale. We are inspired by their vision, impressed by their accomplishments, and honored to be part of their team.

The Palisades restart project reached a watershed moment as the last of the major projects were successfully closed out and the site transitioned from large-scale activities to the remaining routine maintenance, testing, inspection, and operational readiness work required before startup.

"Great organizations are rarely held back by a lack of talent. More often, they are held back by talent that hasn't been fully empowered. Success comes when leaders recognize strengths, place people where they can thrive, and remove the barriers standing in their way."

🔥 Monday Mindset 🔥

Ambition isn’t greed. It’s responsibility.

In heavy industry, what gets built takes teamwork, sacrifice, leadership, and people willing to carry weight others never see. The right kind of ambition keeps paychecks moving, families fed, jobs running, and communities strong.

When you win the right way, everyone around you wins too. Your family benefits. Your team grows. Your customers succeed. Plants stay running. Communities stay strong. 🇺🇸🤝

That is not selfish — that is the whole point.

Don’t apologize for wanting to grow, improve, and build something bigger — especially when others are counting on you to keep pushing forward.

Show up. Work hard. Lead right. Build something that lasts. 🔥
