We had a great time visiting Apollo Career Center to talk about careers at Kwest Group and the many opportunities we offer. Our partnership with Apollo goes back years, and we’re proud to have hired many of their talented graduates! Students got hands on with our CAT Simulator and took part in a fun team building exercise showing how communication and teamwork drive success at Kwest. Plus, one of our own former Apollo students shared their journey from classroom to career! Thanks, Apollo, for another great visit and for helping us build even more bright futures together! 💪 #KwestGroup #ApolloSchool #FutureBuilders #Teamwork #SafetyFirst #ConstructionCareers

The Caterpillar Inc. factory tours in Peoria, Edmunds, and Decatur, IL did not disappoint! Seeing the assembly lines, fabrication, and parts distribution gives you a new appreciation for everything and everyone it takes to keep our yellow iron and job sites running. An amazing experience I won’t forget! Thank you to Jeff Dress and Ohio Cat for hosting the Kwest Group Equipment Team.

We had a very busy schedule with CURT and ABC in Naples and Marco Island last week. The hands-down highlight was seeing my friend, and our CEO/President, Ryan Odendahl, elected to ABC Regional Vice-Chair, Mid-America Region. This also places Ryan on our ABC National Executive Committee. Exciting times at Kwest Group and ABC as we continue our work to improve our industry. Congratulations Ryan!

So happy Kwest Group is able to be a part of this program. Dr. Jake Smithwick is a great guy, and the UNC Charlotte College of Engineering is lucky to have him. Cheers to a great semester to all the students studying Construction Means & Methods!
Wayne and I had great site visit today with Kwest Group for our "Construction Means & Methods" students in the UNC Charlotte College of Engineering - thank you to our hosts Adam Henthorn and Braden Theis, and for Benjamin Geletka for setting it up! Kevin Sell and I had a chance to visit back in April and the progress has been impressive! #realworldready

In our Under the Hard Hat series, Kwest Employee Owner Ryan opens up about the day that changed everything: a trench cave-in on the jobsite and how it reshaped his outlook on safety, teamwork, and mental health. Check in with your crew. Look out for one another. Because mental health is everyone’s job. #WorldMentalHealthDay #ItsTimeToTalk #UnderTheHardHat #KwestCulture #ConstructionStrong #MentalHealthMatters #TeamKwest
