👏 Congratulations to Arthur Junker and Matt Regan, the latest graduates of Ames’ Foreman in Training (FIT) program!

Since joining Ames in March 2023, Arthur has grown by building his skills and gaining hands-on experience in the field. Today, he’s part of the crushing crew on the I-40 project in North Carolina, putting his experience to work while helping repair damage caused by Hurricane Helene. Thank you to his mentor, Superintendent Gideon Bak.

Matt has built valuable experience across several projects with our Central and Eastern offices since joining Ames in April 2020. Currently, he’s also putting that experience to work on the I-40 project. Thank you to his mentor, Carpenter Jay Koehnke.

The FIT program reflects Ames’ commitment to developing our people and creating opportunities for them to learn, grow, and take on new challenges.

Congratulations to Ames Construction on earning recognition for their commitment to jobsite safety at last week's CHASE Recognition Event!

Cutting into a mountainside above an active highway is no small undertaking. But it’s the kind of challenge our crews know how to tackle.

Hear the story of Utah’s U.S. 189 project from the people doing the work.

November is World Quality Month, a time to recognize the role quality plays in delivering better outcomes across our projects and operations.

Quality isn't just about meeting requirements. It shows up in the decisions people make every day: following established practices, spotting potential issues early, and doing the work right the first time.

While every role looks different, at Ames they all lead down the same road: quality plays an important part in our success.

Thank you to our team who make quality part of their work every day.

Building skills. Sharing ideas. And a little friendly competition. 🏗️

Twenty early-career project engineers from across Ames recently came together in Minnesota for hands-on learning focused on planning, coordination, and project operations. The Tallest Tower exercise gave teams a chance to put their communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to the test.

“It was great to connect with other project engineers, share experiences, and learn from different perspectives,” says Project Engineer Aiden Farley. “The workshop also reinforced many of the fundamental skills and principles that help make us successful in our roles.”
