Why Work For Us
We Care
Schmidt’s is a small company, which allows us to tailor ourselves to each employee's wants and needs. We have employees who enjoy only working 40 hours a week, some that enjoy putting in overtime and others that want to pursue continuing education and certifications. Some individuals find training, coaching or leading to be their passion. We endeavor to provide each employee the support to pursue their goals.
Feel Accomplished
Nothing is better than that moment when you finish a task or project. You look over the work you and your team did and you feel a sense of accomplishment. We provide high quality work of which any employee should be proud.
Be Safe
We have monthly safety meetings to ensure that our staff know how to work safely. Additionally, our team leads and trainers provide new employees with education on how to operate machines correctly, keep a clean work site, and use tools effectively. Training meetings also teach employees how to care for their bodies by integrating and teaching stretches to prevent overuse injuries.
Retention Rates
We have above average retention rates for our industry with our employees working with us over five years.
