Steve Door – Business Development Representative for Hillsdale Fabricators, an Alberici Enterprise

Steve was working in business development with Valvoline when he decided to return home to St. Louis. In St. Louis, he sought out a job with Alberici Constructors, the “Big Red Machine” he remembered from his childhood.  He was happy to accept a position as a Shopman Ironworker with Hillsdale Fabricators. “If I was going to succeed in representing Hillsdale in the future there was no better way to learn our product and how we do business than to get my hands dirty working on steel,” he said. “I learned that Hillsdale’s biggest assets are the guys in the shop that weld, grind, burn, paint, drill, saw and fit the steel to exceptional tolerances with a caring you don’t always see at the worker-level.  It is an honor to represent those guys and do my part to keep the shop filled with challenging and profitable work.”

Steve can think of no better way to describe Alberici than one of his favorite quotes from Vince Lombardi: “The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined efforts of each individual.”

John Alberici – Chairman of the Board for Alberici Corporation

John Alberici has been with Alberici Constructors for over 40 years, currently serving as Chairman of the Board. He explains, “I’ve been asked, ‘What’s it like to have worked in the same company for 40 years?’  That question has two answers.  In some ways, it’s not the same company at all that it was 40 years ago.  The size and complexity of the projects has grown, the geographic reach is broader, technology is ever changing and the mix of markets we serve is constantly evolving.  There are always new challenges to keep the work fresh and vibrant. But the other answer is it’s reassuring to know the company’s principles, work ethic and optimism are the same as they’ve always been.  We still have the basic values of a family company and I see that continuing well beyond my tenure.”

Dave Gough – Vice President and Market Leader for Alberici Healthcare Constructors

Dave has been with Alberici for 28 years, beginning as an Estimator and working up the Project Management Career Ladder.  As Vice President and Market Leader for Alberici Healthcare Constructors, Dave is responsible for all healthcare and general building projects. He reflects on his time with Alberici, saying, “In my 28-year career, I have had the opportunity to construct some significant landmarks throughout the St. Louis area. The landmarks and the institutions they represent play an important role in giving back to the community. It gives me great satisfaction and pride to look at those projects and say ‘we built that building.’  They also bring to mind all the good times, the stories and the great team members that were associated with their completion. This is a great business where every single day is different and never boring.”

Dave has also worked to develop new employee hiring and training programs.  He explains, “It is exciting to hire the best people in the business and then see them perform to exceed all expectations. The hard work we are doing now is setting the foundation for a great future for employees at Alberici. Hang on and fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a fun ride.”

Laura Fleming – Project Engineer for Alberici Constructors

Laura has been with Alberici for five years and worked with various projects including Abengoa Bioenergy and the St. Louis Children’s Hospital East Expansion.

“I like challenge and discovering new things.  Alberici supports my ambitions to learn more through opportunities to work in different markets, even in a different country.  With attention to putting together the right team and support services, Alberici is just the right environment for me to continue to grow as a professional.”

Debbie Sparrow – Controller for Alberici Group, Inc.

Debbie has worked in the Financial Services group at Alberici for three years.  She has spent most of her professional career in the construction industry, and was surprised in the difference between Alberici and other construction companies.  “I worked as the Controller for a small construction company, so coming to Alberici was quite a change,” she explains.  “The professional and enthusiastic atmosphere at Alberici makes for an exciting and challenging work experience.  Everyone at Alberici takes tremendous pride in their own work and the accomplishments of the company as a whole.”
