Tom Galligan

Tom began his career with Buttweiler Environmental in 1994, following graduation from St. Cloud State University with degrees in English, Education, and Psychology. Having spent three years in Maintenance at a Bible Camp during college, a part-time job in the cleaning industry seemed the perfect thing to do while substitute teaching, and “Buttweiler Janitorial” came highly recommended (an older brother was a past employee). Promoted quickly to the position of Area Manager, Tom moved into a full-time role in 1995, eventually assuming the Director of Operations position, overseeing day-to-day functions of the contract cleaning division. Tom has attended an array of classes and workshops including Dale Carnegie Training and Basic Workplace Safety. In 2001 he moved from day-to-day operations to Director of Human Resources and Administration. In part because of his great people skills ~ Human Resources was a perfect fit and allowed both Tom and the company to excel. In addition to his primary role in Human Resources, Tom oversees Office, Administrative, and Information Technology. Tom has been integral in developing safety initiatives, company policies and procedures while maintaining a careful balance between Administration and Human Resources. Having come up through the ranks Tom is uniquely qualified for his position and works diligently to hire, orient, and place the best candidates for every position.
