As a Project Manager in the Paving division, Jerad’s main responsibilities include paving estimating and planning. In his role, Jerad reviews civil projects that have a paving scope, and then bids and prices those projects. His day-to-day includes a lot of relationship-building within the industry and with clients, something he enjoys doing.
Jerad started at WRS in November of 2017. In the beginning, he was briefly a laborer on the Civil Construction crew building block walls on a parking lot project. He then had the opportunity to join the Technology Team as a UAV Pilot. After two years on that team, Jerad became a Project Engineer at P66, and while there was promoted to Project Manager. Since then, Jerad has worked in multiple refineries, on the outside civil construction crew, and most recently spent four months at WRS's Idaho division to help on a few projects. Since his return to Ferndale, Jerad has stepped into a new role as a Project Manager and Estimator on the Paving team.
What Jerad enjoys most about his work is the diversity of the work. Every day holds something different! The opportunity to work in teams and build relationships has been a rewarding part of the job.
To Jerad, what makes WRS a great place to work is the people. "We have an endless depth of knowledge within our company from experts in their fields. It is great when something comes across my plate that I am not familiar with and get that opportunity to work as a team to figure it out for the client. Those are fun and rewarding challenges."
