The Conco Companies, one of the West
Coast’s largest commercial concrete contractors, is looking for interns and/or
graduates to fill our Concrete Estimator positions. As our team is comprised of some of the top
experts in the concrete industry, this is an excellent opportunity to learn
from the best. In business since 1959,
we have worked closely with contractors, developers, owners and engineers on
various concrete methodologies in an effort to develop the best standards and
practices in the industry today.
The Conco Companies have continued to
extend their reach throughout the Western U.S.
Our service areas include the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Jose,
Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Diego, CA; Reno, NV; Seattle, WA; and Denver
and Colorado Springs, CO. Our newest
office is in Portland, Oregon. Furthermore,
we are pleased to report that with a steady uptick in the construction markets
of our service areas, all of our regional offices are staying busy.
At The Conco Companies, we have a long
history of adopting the latest concrete technologies as well as purchasing the
latest state-of-the-art equipment to provide our customers with the best range
of options for their project. One of the
types of pumps that we find are very beneficial in projects with challenging
placement specifications is our articulating boom pumps.
The Conco Companies’ Martinez facility
was recently honored as a recipient of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District’s Pollution Prevention Award. All
private businesses and organizations located within the Central San’s service
area are eligible to enter the annual event.
Award recipients are recognized for going above and beyond in their
business practices in regard to pollution prevention and environmental
protection.
Many people have no idea what a
concrete pump is and how it is used.
Just as many people are unaware that concrete pump operators are one of the highest paid careers
in the construction industry and that the industry is actively recruiting people
who may be interested in a career as a concrete pump operator.
Over
the last several years, we have experienced a dwindling number of new workers
seeking careers in the construction industry.
Some think this may be due to young people entering the job market feeling
that construction work is not a glamorous or lucrative profession. The problem has come to a head as older,
experienced tradespeople retire and not enough people are stepping into the
jobs causing a shortage in experienced cement masons, carpenters and
ironworkers.
Recently The Conco Companies announced
the topping out of the East County Detention Center, a 500,000 SF expansion and
replacement to the existing Riverside County Jail. The project’s General Contractor is Clark
Construction and the architect is HOK. The
$330 million project will add another 1,626 beds to the facility once it is
complete.
