For Construction Safety Week 2022, we asked our employees, “Why do you work and live safe?” with an invitation to submit their answers as video clips and photos. We compiled the clips and images for showing at an all-employee “Lean Safety Meeting” held on May 4th. Mark Rounds, P.E., from the Civil & Architectural Engineering & Construction Management Department at MSOE, was the guest speaker, discussing Safety as a component of the Lean Process. The video montage was a hit, though too long for social media. But… here’s an abridged version for your consideration!

Regretfully, we are postponing the Bid Day Simulation event until late spring or early summer. By waiting a few months, we hope the current Omicron surge will be resolved and Milwaukee will once again lift the mask mandate. We want this event to be safe and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and keep your eye out for the new date.
On January 1, 2022, Tiffany May became a shareholder of Berghammer Construction Corporation. As Berghammer’s first female principal, she adds to the diversity in the ownership team. “We are thrilled to have Tiffany become a shareholder,” said Berghammer President Jim Parks. “Tiffany returned to our team in July of 2021, and she has already had an impact on establishing new relationships, rekindling old ones, and adding a boost of energy to our preconstruction process.”
Tiffany began her career at Berghammer in 2001 as an intern and worked in project management for the firm until 2014, at which time she pursued an opportunity with a national firm. In January of 2021, Tiffany and Jim Parks reconnected, and the conversation evolved into an offer to return to Berghammer as a shareholder.
