Haskell’s Permanent Craft Employee (PCE) enhances the speed and quality of work by enabling the team to self-perform critical construction trades. The ongoing growth of the company’s Water/Wastewater Market has created the need to self-perform additional scopes of work.

In addition to equipment operators capable of high-end excavation, Haskell is looking for pipefitters and pipelayers to mentor and be mentored across a variety of work.

“Now, with a half-billion dollars’ worth of wastewater treatment work, and the fact that we’re winning more work on the mechanical side, we’re looking for, I almost call them plumbers,” said Tim Mosley, Haskell’s Senior Manager of Field Personnel. “So, now we’re looking for that kind of talent, people who are more experienced with that type of work and have an understanding of how that all goes together.”

With the pipe fabrication industry facing unprecedented growth and a severe labor shortage, Haskell offers abundant and ideal career opportunities.

Haskell’s Field Technical Training team cross-trains trades, enabling carpenters to learn rigging, piping installation and other new skills to improve their careers and earning power. For two years, Haskell has ranked No. 1 in Training Magazine’s annual APEX Awards rankings, an exclusive list of the leading training organizations worldwide.

Haskell employs more than 200 qualified tradespeople. These PCEs are highly skilled trades who can take on tasks themselves or educate and lead locally contracted workers. Self-performing work allows Haskell teams more flexibility, ensures the highest level of safety and quality of work, shortens the project lifecycle, controls costs and creates a reliance on subcontractors in a supplemental manner for highly specialized tasks.

“We’re bringing those guys on and giving them skills so that they’re not just able to work in one specific trade,” Mosley said. “That way we are able to them working continuously. Once the underground work is finished, we can move their skill sets into things above ground, doing mechanical pipe work or setting equipment. They can do things that equipment operators would do, level-plumbing-square, bolting stuff together.

“When we started getting into water facilities, I had a superintendent who called them multitaskers. He said, ‘We’re not just one specific trade out here. We are multitaskers. Today, we are running an underground pipe. Tomorrow, we are doing pipefitting, and three weeks from now, we could be either doing miscellaneous metals and installing handrails and stairs and slide gates and all the equipment, or they may be doing button-up concrete work.”

In addition to providing a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment, Haskell operates with the direction of six strategic pillars, the first of which is to “Provide Team Members the BEST Job of Their Lives.” It offers a robust benefits package that includes a 401k match and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which creates stock ownership for every full-time team member.

“The benefit package we offer is the same as we offer to the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of the company,” Mosley said. “We’re very competitive in terms of wages. For the traveling guys, we make sure they get home to see their families. And it is a team environment.

“We’re not just hiring for one job. We are hiring for the long term. We are looking for employees who are committed and want to stay with the company and build a career. Just because you are hired in a position does not mean you stay in that position. We have all sorts of opportunities for training and advancement.”
