The S&F concrete needed workers who knew how to make the disposition. A well -established concrete provider in the region, the company had a CAD office fully personalized with engineers and design experts, but the team spread with the active sites of S&F. The recruitment for concrete design skills had also become a challenge, with each year that design candidates were reached.
S&F went to the Carpenters Union of the North Atlantic States for support. After six weeks, the carpenter professional instructors designed a personalized program for teaching digital design skills and established the multiple union training centers in the region with state -of -the -art Hilti and other total stations systems. In a matter of months there was a problem that had plagued S&F and the industry for a few months.
“Now, we have what could be an endless supply of people who can make the disposition,” said s& F Head of concrete / superintendent outside Superintendent Steve Monteiro. “Where it was very finite, we had 20 in our company that they were able to do it, now, we could have 20 at the end of a week or two.”
Working with carpenters to teach their design skills of their learners will quickly improve the efficiency, flexibility of the work and the ability of the team. Union Carpenters will now be able to manage the disposition directly, in the site and whenever necessary, saving time, resources and even improving the quality.
The total training of the station also joined the Union Learning Program and was made available to carpenters at the travel level as part of the learning programs throughout the Union.

“Whether it is one of our training facilities throughout the region or in our partner’s own workplace, contractors tell us what they need and we make it a reality,” said Tom Fischer, executive director of the Carpenter’s Fund of Carpenters in the North Atlantic States. “It is a victory: our partner benefits from achieving state -of -the -art resources and crew with proven skills in the field, and our learning and travel training programs are stronger.”
The Regional Council of Carpenters (NASRCC) of the North Atlantic states represents more than 30,000 carpenters, drivers of piles, shops and mills, mills and cutlery working in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.
