Construction Superintendent

“At first I didn’t believe what I heard about working at AOI, but eventually I made the leap.  The people I work with are like an extension of my family.  They’ll help with anything…. We’re all here for each other and truly care about each other.  Also, I can usually do my job within a reasonable amount of hours each week, which gives me more time with my family.  We work hard and get our jobs done, but there’s time for a life as well.”
