The third awardee is Estimating Engineer Ethan Tharp.

Nomination: “Ethan is out going and willingly accepts challenges. He does a remarkable turn around on the tasks assigned to him.

When asked “do you think you can make this work”, or “any chance of getting this turned around in 1-2 days?” Ethan does not disappoint.

Ethan is a general pleasure to work with and I look forward to seeing him continue to grow. He is willing to try different tasks for growth opportunities: APM, Estimating takeoff, Estimating, PM (running off several of his own estimates as a learning experience)”

Our next Nailed It awardee is accountant Peyton Kehler.

Nomination #1: “Peyton has stepped up and taken the AP for Zartman Construction and has done an excellent job learning the position and running with it. Peyton has proven to be dependable and organized. She also is very apt to listen if PM’s request something be done a little different. Peyton always has a positive attitude.”

Nomination #2: “Peyton is an asset to the Accounting department and contributes to the positive culture here at Zartman Construction. Since she has joined the team, she has grown to manage ZCI AP on her own, as well as handle Bear credit card billings, repair and service tickets, and more. She is a team player, wanting everyone to succeed and conducts herself in a manner that is professional, and polite, yet friendly, and approachable. She holds herself to the strictest standard of efficiency productivity, and organization. She is truly a pleasure to work with and I am beyond grateful to be able to call her my teammate & coworker.”

Dave recently presented Nailed It awards to three members of our team for consistently exceeding expectations. The first of the awardees is crane operator Jared Trelinski.

Nomination: “Jared does whatever is asked of him whether it is after hours or on weekends without any push back. Every customer that has him on their job in the past few weeks has called in for repeat work or just to say how great he does and how smooth he runs the crane. A passerby actually called in because he saw how good Jared was doing and decided to have us perform some crane work for him.”

A customer also shared the following about Jared: “I would like you to know that I have had the pleasure of having your crane operator, Jared on my job site twice now. He is a very personable and polite guy. He is very good at his job! When at the controls he is incredibly smooth. Many crane operators I’ve worked with over the last 25 years will at times make movements without being signaled to because they think they know what you need. That is very dangerous! Jared responds very well to signals and ONLY moves when he is told. He is very attentive and always paying attention. He is extremely professional and willing to work with you in planning to ensure safety and the most effective way to make the pick. I hope to have him on all my jobs when we use your services. You have a great employee here and I thought it appropriate to reach out to you.”
