Employee Spotlight: Justin Whittaker Joins the Water & Wastewater Division
Justin has been in the civil and commercial construction world for nearly 30 years. He has run the gamut of commercial and residential construction roles, performed erosion control on large heavy civil highway projects, owned his own company focused on heavy civil, underground utility, and wastewater work; and is now moving into a new role utilizing his expertise to help CGRS fine tune and build their water and wastewater presence.
When asked about his philosophy for success he simply said that he isn’t one to say no to an opportunity. If he doesn’t know how to do something, he finds someone who does to teach him. And he isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. His experiences have taught him that the more you are willing to reach for, the more you find yourself capable of.

And its not just my team, I’ve been blown away to see how other departments are willing to step in and support wherever it is needed.
