PROFILES IN LEADERSHIP LUND CONSTRUCTION CO. LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR A DYNAMIC GROWING TEAM “Anybody can work in construction,” says Vice President Kevin Lund of Sacramento-based Lund Construction. “We’re dedicated to building a team of bright, talented people, whether they have 30 years’ experience or next to none in the industry, as long as they want to work hard and learn.” Launched in 1958 by George and Alta Lund and currently guided by President Jerry Lund, Lund Construction provides the same expertise in civil infrastructure as larger companies, but with family-business attentiveness. They take pride in their rich foundation but also in their evolution. “We’re building this company by combining the best of our employees’ unique training and backgrounds,” says Kevin Lund. Hands-on learning with a positive attitude is critical in construction, and at Lund Construction, that goes both directions between longtime employees and new hires. “We have mentoring and reverse mentoring here,” says Project Manager Mark Oliveira, “with some younger team members bringing tools and tech knowledge that longer-term employees can learn from as the newer employees acquire their industry expertise.” Committed to a dynamic team, Kevin Lund also thinks construction will benefit with more women involved. He’s identified Junior Project Engineer Kendall Porter as a great future leader. “As a woman, I’ve had just as many opportunities on our team and in the industry as anyone else,” she says. “Though I’m still in the early stages of my education and career, I feel that my ideas are truly valued. With so much opportunity here, I feel I will be a great asset to company growth and look forward to my future with Lund.” Awarded the Trade Partner of the Year by the North State Building Industry Association just last year, Lund Construction will soon move to a new office with twice its current space. It looks to the future confident in its service to clients and committed to nurturing a vibrant team of construction industry professionals. “ Lund Construction thrives thanks to the energy, creativity and drive of every one of our team members. — KEVIN LUND ” Vice President | Lund Construction Co. 5302 Roseville Rd North Highlands, CA 95660 (916) 344-5800 License# 342677 | DIR# 1000005212 SPONSORED PROFILE LundConst.com July 2020 | comstocksmag.com 21
