Skills Development
We encourage you to develop your talents and grow your skills whether you are a project manager, accountant, administrator, purchaser or fleet specialist. Specific process training for project managers is provided enabling them to efficiently perform their tasks. Seminars often presented by outside professionals cover such topics as project administrative responsibilities, implementing job controls, problem solving and a variety of topics related to the construction industry.

Knowing that all of our field personnel play a key role in the construction process and success of our projects, Aldridge provides training to strengthen abilities at all levels. Workshops have been developed in conjunction with the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and cover such topics as the transition into management, scheduling, team building, communication, leading and motivating and field and safety training.

Personnel are provided safety training and equipment training on a yearly basis, as well on specific skills necessary to perform their jobs.

All this is administered by full time training director Mike Calihan. A twenty five veteran of Aldridge, Mike started as a field laborer and worked his way through the ranks; Journeyman, Superintendent, Project Manager, Senior Project Manager, and Division Manager. Mike’s experiences make him uniquely qualified to help others achieve their fullest potential here at Aldridge.

His charter is to develop and provide relevant programs and course material that fulfills the strategic objectives of Aldridge Electric.
