High Steel Structures recently celebrated its first official Co-Op Signing Day at our Lancaster facility, welcoming five outstanding students who have accepted offers to join us as full-time fabricators after graduation.
Keegan Bandholz, Jacob Beighle, Leonardo Aguillera Lopez, Liam McFalls, and William Wingard were introduced to High Steel through Career and Technical Center programs across Lancaster, Chester, and Berks counties. Each has successfully completed our rigorous High Steel University training program, earning the welding and technical certifications required to help build the bridge girders that keep our nation moving.
During the ceremony, Mike Clark, Vice President of Operations, shared a powerful message: our goal is not just to develop skilled welders, but to grow members of a team that represents the very best in steel bridge fabrication worldwide. He encouraged the students to think long-term—seeing this moment as the beginning of a rewarding career filled with opportunity, growth, and purpose.
Following the ceremony, the new fabricators celebrated alongside their supervisors, families, teachers, and program coordinators at a catered lunch, marking the start of an exciting future with High Steel.
