Where it All Started:
Shane grew up in Central Illinois and worked there before starting his career at Chamberlin Roofing & Waterproofing. At the time Shane was seeking employment opportunities at a new company. At the time, he had two uncles who worked for Chamberlin and they went out of their way to help him get in with the company. Shane started out as a helper in the field with the company. From there he grew in the field, which then lead him to where he is with the company now, as a Senior Operations Manager for both the roofing and waterproofing departments.
A Day in the Life:
A typical work day for Shane usually looks action packed and busy. Shane stated that having a busy life style isn't always a bad thing. Shane regularly has different people coming to his office to talk to him, he looks at that as an opportunity to help develop the people around him, no matter where they are at in their career at Chamberlin. Shane also spends a large portion of his day discussing current projects and process, as well as discusses potential issues.
Outlook:
In Shane's opinion, customer service is one of the most important parts of any company. He believes that it is extremely important to provide the best of everything we can to our clients. Not only does this give our clients the best experience possible, but it gives them a way to know that they can trust the quality in our work. Clients don't only choose a company based on their work, they also choose a company based on the relationship they have with them, making customer service that much more important. Another huge thing for Shane is maintaining proper safety protocols at all times during the work day, whether that be here in the office or out in the field. Ensuring that our employees, clients, public and others we work alongside remain safe at all times and is a prerequisite to what we do. Shane stated that he has seen his fair share of accidents in the industry over the years and believes that holding safety to the highest standard possible is the key to success.
Notable Projects:
Shane has contributed to several notable projects during his time at Chamberlin. A handful of those projects include: The Minute Maid Stadium, NRG Stadium, Exon Campus and Lambeth House, a 12-story exterior facade reclad, an active retirement and assisted living facility in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Greatest Personal Accomplishment:
Shane's greatest personal accomplishment outside of work is finding a proper work-life-balance, that allows him to put his family first on a regular basis. Shane comes from a large family. He has five children and seven grandchildren, with number eight on the way. Family time is everything to Shane and he likes to spend time with them most when he isn't busy at work.
Life Without Chamberlin:
If Shane didn't have Chamberlin in his life, he would most likely still be pursuing construction on some level, because he enjoys what he does in the construction industry. If he wasn't pursuing construction he would start to do woodworking full-time. He actually has a fully stocked 30 X 40 metal building that allows him to do this now as time allows.
