🚨 Leadership Opportunity Alert 🚨

We often talk about developing leaders within our Brotherhood. Here's an opportunity for someone ready to take the next step.

Dunnet Bay Construction is hiring an experienced Construction Superintendent to lead roadway, bridge, and infrastructure projects throughout Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana.
If you're interested, please contact Dunnet Bay Construction directly at [email protected] for additional details.

This is also a reminder that leadership opportunities can present themselves unexpectedly as people retire, companies expand, and new projects emerge. Members who aspire to leadership roles should keep an updated resume ready and consider creating a professional LinkedIn profile to stay informed about opportunities as they are posted.

Preparation meets opportunity. The next leadership role could be one application away. 🇺🇸🔨

What do you see in this photo?

I see leaders our next generation should strive to become.

Pictured from right to left: General Foreman Bryan Hoffman and General Foreman Dustin Wireman of Solid Platforms, INC, along with Carpenters Local 2950 President Steve Toth, recently represented our union and our industry proudly at the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Collaborative Leadership: Building Jobsite Leaders program in Las Vegas.

Programs like this don't just build better jobsites, they build stronger leaders.
To every apprentice and young member: Don't just focus on becoming a carpenter. Aim to become a LEADER. INVEST in your training, seek out mentors, and challenge yourself to grow every day.

The future of Carpenters Local 2950 is sitting in our Merrillville, IN apprenticeship classes right now. The question is: Who's ready to step up and lead? 👀

Formerly known as Locals 1485, 599, and 1005, our newly formed Carpenters Local 2950 CREW represents nearly 3,300 members….and WE DON’T STOP!

Our brothers and sisters are out in communities throughout Northwest Indiana almost every weekend, lending a helping hand, giving back, and making a difference where it matters most.

Being a Union Carpenter, Millwright, or Floor Coverer is about more than building structures….it’s about building stronger communities. Stronger communities where we can work, live, and build right here in our own backyards.

“We don’t just build our communities, we clean up our communities.” 🦺🌎
