Yesterday we had the privilege of hosting 25 students and 2 teachers at the Odessa RM Plant for Career Day and WHC. From exploring native plants and wildlife habitats to touring the ready mix, block, QC plants, and the shop, it was a hands-on look at our operations and conservation efforts!
Driving awareness, one yard at a time. This Saturday our Alzheimer’s Awareness truck proudly served as the midway point for this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s. For every yard of concrete hauled by the purple truck, we donated $1 to support the Alzheimer’s Association. At Preferred Materials, we’re committed to building stronger communities and supporting the causes that touch the lives of our employees, families, and neighbors.
BBQ with a purpose! At Preferred Materials, we believe in building stronger communities both on and off the job. Supporting the Pig Jig is one way we show that commitment — helping raise vital funds and awareness for kidney disease research while connecting with the people we serve
Celebrating 20 Years of Service! This week marks 20 years of service for Di Rodriguez. He began his career at the Quarry, back when it was known as APAC, loading trucks before moving to the asphalt plant built on-site in 2006. Later, he joined the Dirt Crew during Kelly Agnus’s tenure. Under Mike Sizer’s leadership, he transitioned to the Fort Myers asphalt plant, where he ran loaders across multiple sites. In 2014, he became Plant Operator at Plant 2 when it reopened. Four years later, he stepped into his current role as Assistant Plant Manager in Naples. Thank you for two decades of dedication and leadership! #proud2bePMI #EmployeeRecognition #WorkAnniversary #20YearsStrong
