Yesterday, we had the opportunity to host educators from Genesee County at the Operating Engineers 324 Construction Career Center and give them a hands-on overview of some of the careers available in being an #OE324 Operating Engineer! The educators learned about the training we offer around safety, how crane operators calculate lifts, and got to try their hands at a crane and excavator. When we have the chance to show our industry leading safety and skills training directly to educators, it helps them share the opportunities with the next generation of Operating Engineers! We thank them for their visit and look forward to continued involvement!#OE324PROUD #oe324trains ... See MoreSee Less

"Now, we are in the middle of unprecedented progress on the roads and bridges of Michigan. There has been bipartisan investment made in repairing and replacing our crumbling infrastructure, and the proof is all around us this summer as construction crews undertake the necessary work. We are finally making the investment in ourselves, our families, and our businesses, that good roads and bridges provide.Now we need to make a similar investment in our road workers, and ensure they are able to complete their work as safely as possible."www.bridgemi.com/guest-commentary/opinion-we-can-and-must-make-road-work-less-dangerous ...
