November at U.S. Engineering: Learning, Sharing, and Giving Back

December 1, 2025

A group of people wearing blue hard hats and orange or yellow safety vests stand together outside in front of a building labeled “US Engineering” on a sunny day.

November brought hands-on learning, shared expertise, and meaningful community service across U.S. Engineering locations. From strengthening technical skills to exchanging ideas across borders, our teams continued to invest in growth.

Expanding Hands-On Expertise

In Springfield, MO, our Ozarks Service team took part in a hands-on screw compressor teardown led by Service Manager Jeremy Hawkins. The retired unit, logged at more than 90,000 hours, offered a real-world look at how a failed bearing on a main rotor can lead to complete system failure.

Jeremy walked the team through core screw compressor principles, early warning signs, and practical field application. Sessions like this help our team sharpen their strong technical foundation and stay aligned on emerging equipment trends.

Shared Learning Across Continents: Sarabeth Gandara on the Peer Exchange Program

Preconstruction Manager Sarabeth Gandara returned from seven weeks with NG Bailey in the United Kingdom, where she studied their approach to work winning and project cost tracking, and offered insights into the way we do business.

Professionally, Gandara returned with a broader view of how teams in another country collaborate and manage complex work. Personally, the experience reminded her of the value of stepping away from familiar routines and embracing new experiences with her family.

Midwest Technology Team: Job Walk & Giving Back

The Midwest Technology team had an active month of connection and service. The group took part in a job walk at the Jackson County Detention Center, gaining a closer look at the scope and coordination behind the project.

The team also spent a morning at Harvesters, repacking onions for the mobile food pantry. Their efforts helped support families across Kansas City and Missouri. Thank you to everyone who participated.

Supporting our Neighborhoods: Adopt-A-Street

Thank you to November’s Adopt-A-Street Rocky Mountain volunteers—Jason Schneider, Mike Brunson, Cole Carpenter, Meghan Crocker, and Sarah Huber—for taking advantage of a beautiful fall day to clean up our one-mile stretch of Huron street in Westminster, Colorado.

November reflected what makes U.S. Engineering unique: a culture of integrity and respect, where everyone is valued and empowered to be their full, authentic, best selves. Thanks to our Team Members for everything you’re doing to help us build a workplace where everyone can thrive
