Hill Electric President and COO, Trey Thomas, recently had another opportunity to sit down and speak on “Built with Billd”, a podcast that provides resources for contractors to invest in and level up their businesses.
In Part 1 of Construction Chronicles Episode 5, Trey touches on strong family dynamics, one of his favorite parts about Hill Electric, and how the dynamic extends beyond just employees. If you haven’t had the chance to listen to Tornados and Industrial Electrical Work, you can read the recap here on our blog!
For Part 2, Turning High School Grads Into Tenured Employees, Trey covers a subject that Hill Electric is extremely passionate about: Educating the next generation of contractors. Over the years, the team at Hill has become increasingly involved in local high schools, trade schools, and technical colleges helping students get involved in the construction industry as early as possible.
Providing real-world experiences such as safety training, resume reviews, and interview workshops have proven to give students a competitive edge and increased the chances of building a successful career in the construction industry.
This training does not stop at graduation. For Hill Electric, continued education is a critical part of investing in our team. Caring for employees and giving them a clear direction within the company has helped us create an unparalleled culture and impressive tenure. Most employees even stay with Hill Electric until retirement. Additionally, we offer scholarships to our employees’ children for higher education, one-on-one lunches for our teammates to provide feedback, and so much more.
