Jackson Gray - Intern

“"I just graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Technical Systems Management and a concentration in Construction Management. In my time at UIUC, I also interned with Champaign-Urbana based general contractors, Broeren-Russo Builders Inc., where I assisted management at three different job sites.

In my short time at PJ Hoerr, I have seen why PJ Hoerr has been such a successful business and why they have been around for more than 100 years. Everyone at PJ Hoerr strives for excellence and that atmosphere is contagious. It gives me a drive for excellence and a drive to go the extra mile in everything that I do. The business practices that they have implemented, and the people here, have created a culture that has driven PJ Hoerr to success, not just for the company, but for each of their employees as well."”

Joe Hoffman - Project Engineer

“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.”
