🌟 Employee Spotlight: Mike Edwards 🌟

At GroundBreakers, we take pride in the people who make our company what it is—and today, we’re excited to recognize Mike Edwards, our Ohio Field Supervisor, as part of our Employee Spotlight Series.

Mike brings over 12 years of experience in construction to the team and is approaching his 1-year anniversary with GroundBreakers. In that time, he has made a tremendous impact through his leadership, dedication, and teamwork in the field.

When asked about his experience with GroundBreakers, Mike shared:
"The company feels like a family. I truly enjoy coming to work every day. I've worked at other places before and never felt excited to go to work like I do here. I enjoy working alongside the operators we have, and working side by side with a great leader like Curtis makes the days go seamlessly."

Outside of work, Mike’s passion for leadership continues at home and in the community. He enjoys coaching his sons’ football team and spending time hunting with his boys. Mike and his wife, Andi, are proud parents to **four sons—Brody, Camden, Crew, and Hendrix—**who certainly keep life busy and full of energy.

Mike, we’re grateful for your hard work, positive attitude, and the leadership you bring to GroundBreakers every day. Thank you for being an essential part of our team! 👏

🚧 Construction Safety Week | May 4–8 🚧

This week, GroundBreakers proudly recognizes Construction Safety Week, running May 4–8, with the theme “All In Together.”

Safety in high‑risk work environments isn’t the responsibility of one role or one team—it’s a shared commitment. This year’s focus is built around three powerful pillars:
Recognize hazards before they become incidents
Respond quickly, correctly, and with confidence
Respect every person, every role, and every safety standard

When we look out for one another and stay committed to doing the job the right way, everyone goes home safe at the end of the day. That’s what being all in together truly means.

Thank you to all the teams and individuals who make safety a daily priority—not just this week, but all year long.

With it being Safety Week... Keep your eyes peeled for GroundBreakers' Safety Challenges!

🔦 A Different Angle: “Safety Starts Before the Dig”

✨ Safety doesn’t start when equipment hits the ground — it starts with the locate. ✨

That’s why we’re shining a spotlight on Locator Safety & Appreciation Week, happening April 20–24, 2026.

Every accurate mark, every careful read of underground conditions, and every commitment to doing it right helps prevent strikes, delays, and disruptions that affect crews and whole communities. Utility locators operate at the intersection of precision and protection — often unseen, but absolutely essential.

We believe appreciation shouldn’t be limited to one week. By calling attention to this observance early, we’re recognizing the everyday impact utility locators make long before work begins and long after projects are completed.

Over the coming months, we’ll be highlighting:
--Why locator safety is critical to jobsite success
--How accurate locating protects infrastructure and people
--The professionals whose expertise keeps projects moving forward

📅 Locator Safety & Appreciation Week: April 20–24, 2026
Because safe projects don’t happen by chance — they start with locators.

👏 Join us in recognizing the value they bring all year long.

🌟 Employee Spotlight | Locator Safety & Appreciation Week 🌟

In honor of Locator Safety & Appreciation Week, we’re excited to recognize Scott Allyn, a valued Locating Technician at GroundBreakers, LLC.

Scott brings 15 years of locating experience to our team and has been with GroundBreakers for just under a year. His dedication to accuracy, safety, and protecting underground infrastructure plays a critical role in keeping jobsites safe and projects moving forward.

Thank you, Scott, for your commitment to safety, professionalism, and excellence in the field. We’re proud to have you on the GroundBreakers team!

👏 Let’s hear it for all the locators who keep our communities safe—this week and every week.
