Our Core Values
Safety
Safety is the first care of every individual, and the most critical component of our future success. The true bottom line is this: Every person deserves to go home at the end of the day, without injury, to those who rely on them. No cost is too great to ensure our safety.
Mindfulness
We constantly remain aware of our surroundings and the work we are performing. We focus on correctly completing today’s task and taking time to prepare for the many tasks of tomorrow.
Accountability
We control our own fate through responsibility and action. We are held in high regard because we deliver results, rectify shortcomings, and strive to do right by all.
Respect
Opportunity does not create itself; we must be thankful for that which we have been afforded and work to utilize it to the best of our abilities. We treat our laws, our environment, our partners, our teammates, our resources, and ourselves with the highest regard.
Teamwork
No one is an island; each of us is counting on others to help us meet our goals. We work together and do our part, each day, to lead our team to success. As a company, we work with our customers and partners to find success through cooperation and a commitment to completion.
