“When I was given an opportunity to join the P.J. Hoerr team, I had very little construction background. Luckily, I was joining a team that can see potential and would help me grow in this industry. This company has created an amazing work environment, they value their employees and encourage growth like I have never experienced before. I am very grateful to spend my workdays with hardworking people who have grown to feel like family. We all take pride in our work and go the extra mile to execute our projects flawlessly. I am excited to see where my journey with P.J. Hoerr takes me.”

Kaitlyn Rodgers - Project Manager Assistant

“Since a young age I have been involved with the construction industry. I grew up working for my family's residential construction company. This fueled my interest in construction. After getting married and having children, it was important for me to reconnect with the construction industry. I had the opportunity to be an interior designer and assist architects in working with families to create their vision and design their dream homes. With my children now progressing in their lives it was important for me to resume a full-time career in construction.

I accepted a position in estimating with P.J. Hoerr, Inc. that was truly a perfect match. I get the excitement and challenges of commercial construction while maintaining the close-knit family feel P.J. Hoerr has to offer. This role has proven to be an absolute blessing. I have had the opportunity to work alongside some of the most truly talented and knowledgeable minds in the construction industry. I can’t wait to continue my growth within this exciting and fulfilling career path.”

“November will mark the 22nd anniversary of Brad Meacham's career at PJ Hoerr. He’s been the lifeline of PJ Hoerr’s machinery, vehicles, and tools since he started with them.

At PJ Hoerr he’s considered the man that can fix anything, an essential part to how the company operates. Looking back on his 22 years, he’s grown up with PJ Hoerr. He plans to retire in the near future, but believes he’ll never be able to really leave. “It’s just a great place to work.””

“We’re excited to show off another member of our team! Aidan is a former Illinois State Red Bird who majored in Construction Management. He is the newest Project Engineer for PJ Hoerr.

Construction means a lot to Aidan, and it runs deep in his family. He made sure to tip his hard hat to his dad, a seasoned pro with over 25 years of experience. For Aidan, it's about the thrill of turning blueprints into buildings and the satisfaction of seeing a project through from start to finish.

When he's not on the job site, you can find him hitting the golf course or cheering on his favorite football teams, the LSU Tigers or the Pittsburgh Steelers. PJ Hoerr isn't just a company for Aidan; it's a family tradition. Aidan has always been in awe of the incredible work PJ Hoerr produces.

Now, he's excited to roll up his sleeves and contribute to the legacy of a company known for its exceptional people and outstanding projects.

“PJ Hoerr is a company filled with great people that have the same goals and ideas that reflect in the work that is done, and I am excited to be a part of it.””

Aidan Eddy - Project Engineer

“Mike has found contentment in both his professional and personal life, something most people spend their whole lives searching for. He has stayed at PJ Hoerr for 33 years because he’s never felt the need to leave.

“I could’ve tried to search for something else, but I didn’t because I was treated fairly and appreciated those friendships and the company that PJ Hoerr is.”

Mike is approaching his 34th year work-anniversary in December. Being our longest employee, we’re grateful for the work he has done and the lives he’s changed. On behalf of PJ Hoerr, we appreciate Mike’s commitment and invaluable expertise that has helped shape what the company is now from what it was 33 years ago.”
