CONTRACTOR SUCCESS STORIES III : MERON , INC

the mentorship and guidance of more experienced companies . Working with Escobar Construction has been a godsend because they ’ ve had the administrative staff and experience with government contracting to mentor us .”
Having successfully completed the Bakersfield V . A . cemetery project , Isaac is now more confident in his company ’ s ability to meet government contracting requirements . He is currently engaging with local labor unions to find ways to bring Meron , Inc .’ s unique expertise to LAX and City of LA projects . “ This is a very mentally challenging and rewarding field because there are so many different types of projects , and I look forward to collaborating on complex projects where we can bring real value .”
Besides being able to offer an unparalleled level of engineering expertise , being a smaller company allows Isaac greater flexibility to find , train and nurture underrepresented talent within the trades . “ Coming from years spent in the corporate world , I know that not everyone wants to work for a huge contractor . In an environment where one ’ s perceived value in a company is directly proportional to the bottom line , there is not a lot of leeway for many employees to offer creative input . However , apprentices and materials handlers can often bring ideas to the table that no one else would have thought of and which can improve efficiency or save the company money . I like being a smaller outfit because I have the freedom to care about and interact with my entire team .”
