“I started my career with Hazel about thirty-four (34) years ago and it has been great ever since. I started off as a laborer in the field and worked my way up to yard supervisor.

The challenges that are constantly being faced in the industry motivate and excite me to come to work every day. I appreciate the role I play in ensuring the company is productive and successful and it’s been great seeing the amount of growth and development the company has had over the years.

The people that I work with feel like family, and it’s been a culture that has been embedded since the start. To really succeed in this business, you have to enjoy the work that you do. If you are willing to put in the work and the time in this company, there will be opportunities to grow”

“William A. Hazel Inc. has been a great company to work for! I started, developed, and progressed my career in this company. I started out as an intern from Virginia Tech in the summer of 1986, then I moved up to being an estimator in January of 1987. Thirty-five (35) years later, I am one of the top construction managers in the company.

The company has evolved over the years to keep up with the times. It promotes setting goals, and then re-setting goals as you work your way up the ladder. Through the earthwork take off, estimating, or the project management programs, there are many opportunities for growth. In the past few years Hazel has strived to develop a better line of communication between the office and the field, which has also improved the relationships we have with our clients. I’ll never forget the times I’ve showed my kids some of the sites that Hazel has completed under my direction where I played a role in bidding and managing the projects.”

“I have been with this company for more than 10 years. I continue to choose Hazel because they provide me with the quality resources needed to complete the job. I received a brand-new service truck that allows me to get my job done out in the field. I appreciate that my co-workers feel like family, and everyone gets along well at the shop.

One specific legacy that has been carried out over the years is the strong work ethic. If you come to work every day, do the work you are tasked to do and ask questions when you are unsure, you will succeed in your career in this company.

My supervisors trust me with the work that I do, and I never feel micromanaged. I enjoy making sure equipment is inspected and maintained in order for them to be operated in a safe and efficient manner. My favorite task is rebuilding a hammer on a drill!”

“I started my career with this company in 1998 as a laborer. I started off as a laborer and then I moved up to pipe fitter and then refined my skills operating heavy equipment. Now, I am a punch crew foreman. I appreciate the learning space the company has provided me throughout my years of service.

William A. Hazel Inc. takes care of their employees, training is always provided for you if you are willing to work hard. In the work that we do, there is room for anyone who wants to learn. Whether that’s putting up silt fences, adjusting manholes or installing conduits, there’s work year-round. One advice I’d share with those wanting to start a career with us is dedicate yourself in the work we do because it will get rewarded.”
