On January 15, 2016, SCE gathered all employees for its annual Company Townhall. Standing down operations at all jobsites, the company gathered field and office personnel for a day of training and awards presentations. Guest speakers covered diverse topics. The Pennsylvania State Police presented invaluable information on the proper transport of equipment, machines, and supplies and a Chiropractor explained the techniques and practices to minimize soft tissue damage and other injuries. An expert in Human Resource Management educated the group on the many forms of harassment on the job, and in-house managers at all levels detailed the specific procedures to be followed by witnesses or victims of harassment.

In addition, stations located throughout the facility allowed employees to refresh their PPE, replace fuel credit cards, update their employee badges, and even select a new pair of work boots to meet the most stringent safety standards. With a truck full of boots of all sizes and styles on site, each crew member left the event with new boots in hand.

At the end of the full day, SCE’s President, Jody Cordaro presented awards to the company’s superlative employees. Special Operations Manager, Nate Butler, presented his own collection of awards for “Nate’s Allstars.” Among award recipients: John Lawrence, Lauren Delguarcio, Jonatan Rios, Bill Quinn, Andrew Barone, Jack Spear, Michael Dahlgren (Excellence Award), Dean Argenta (Safety Excellence Award), Daniel Mead (Core Award), Chris Shank (R.I.T.E Award), Lenin Velez (Shining Star Award), Mariah Wheeler (Loyalty Award), Aaron Paradis (Drive for Success Award), Jude Sookbirsingh (Rookie of the Year), Bill Stankevitch, Manager of the Year, and Sergio Ayala, Employee of the Year.
