We invest in your success

That's what I call personal development and a business that embraces talent.

Time certainly flies by when you are re-inventing yourself! This month marks three years for me working at Aldridge Electric. Prior to working at Aldridge, I was not totally sure about the direction of not only my career, but my life as a whole. When the opportunity to join Aldridge was presented to me, it provided me with a way to start building an identity for myself. Coming from a background with very little construction experience, a couple words I would use to describe my mindset coming into this job would be anxious, scared, and overwhelmed. These same words could have been applied to how I was feeling about myself personally as well. Fast-forward to today, I am able to look back over the course of my first three years at Aldridge, and feel absolutely humbled in-terms of how far I have come since my first day. I am now someone who, when I first started, I could never picture myself being. I am someone who is more calm, confident, and poised... moreso the opposite of who I was when I first started. This all being said, I am not satisfied. Each night when I am filling out my planner with the items that I have to complete the next day, I write five words at the top of that next day's list. Those words are: -Likeable -Coachable -Reliable -Adaptable -Honorable These are the words I do my best to focus on and personify each day. Most days I feel I come up short in one or two of these areas. However, I firmly believe that if I continue to do my best to live by these five words, I will succeed as a professional, and far more importantly, as a person. All of this to say, I am blessed and grateful for where I am and where I am heading; thankful to all of those who are helping along the way.

Exciting news! I’ve been promoted to Business Development Associate at Circles North America. We’re doing big things. Cheers to a new chapter… I’m here for it.🥂

Meet The Team Tuesday 👑👑💕 Name: Nathan (Thor) Age: 31 Why you chose traffic as a career path: Traffic control is something that requires you to always think on your feet (sometimes literally) it’s something that is always changing new sites, new people something new each time amd so many good people Favourite thing to do outside of work: I enjoy the gym and taking my dog out What do you like most about your job: The most fulfilling aspect of my job is working with a talented and supportive group of people, both clients and colleagues. What do you love about Crown Traffic Services that is different from all the other companies: At Crown Traffic Services, we differentiate ourselves from other companies through our camaraderie and shared values. As a team of friends and colleagues, we uplift and motivate each other to achieve our goals and embody a strong work ethic.

I started a new role recently (more details to follow). There's a lot that is incredible about it, here are a few things:  - I'm part of a company working as a force for good.    - I'm the 5th member of a brand new team, we're creating everything from scratch, even our office building.  - We're already talking about flow, owning our mistakes and being ourselves. And how to use our strengths to cover each other's needs. It feels good to be celebrated, nurtured and supported as myself as well as to look at ways to build trust, encourage challenge, expand skills and find a joy in our work, both individually and as a team. My goal: To show up as the best version of myself.  With that in mind, I'm trying to let go (at least a little!) - of making mistakes, of being perfect, of how I want everything to be and just to go with the flow! That's not about up-skilling or doing anything apart from allowing it to be so.   And so, I will try to do a little less thinking and a little more being so that I can be a little more... me.
