Where it All Started:
Jose’s career started out when he was working as a window washer for buildings in Downtown Dallas. Being a window washer for buildings in Downtown Dallas, was his initial introduction to working in proximity with construction. This is where Jose’s interest in seeing how buildings are made began. After doing his own research he knew he wanted to work in the construction industry to some degree, but with a company that performed the best within it. Shortly after, he ended up hearing about Chamberlin Roofing & Waterproofing and about the quality in our work. From that point forward he knew he wanted to join and be a part of our team here.
A Day in the Life:
A typical workday for Jose would be catching up with all his emails, this ensures that his day is started off on a productive foot. After this, Jose likes to reach out to his field supervisor, especially if there are any problems so they can collaborate on the best solution for the situation at hand together. After Jose finishes his morning meetings, he will go out into the field to visit projects to ensure they are going smoothly. Towards the end of his workday, he ensures there will be the appropriate amount of manpower power for each project for each day ahead.
Outlook:
In Jose’s opinion, you cannot achieve positive customer service, safety, quality, or teamwork without proper communication with all parts of the company.
