Hearn Continues to Build a Green Workforce

Hearn Continues to Build a Green Workforce


(VACAVILLE, CA) – Hearn Construction, as part of our commitment to sustainable building and environmental responsibility, has taken new steps to equip the company to meet the green building challenges presented by many of today’s construction projects. Keith Burnham, Director of Preconstruction and LEED AP, has been at the forefront of this movement at Hearn Construction. He is now joined by other staff members who are trained specifically to work on green building projects.

As part of this effort, Hearn Construction recently hired Max Schanck as a Project Engineer to enhance our team of skilled building professionals. Mr. Schanck has a B.S. in Business from CSUS Sacramento, and is a LEED Accredited Professional. He has started work at Hearn serving on two ongoing projects with LEED components, an assisted living center renovation and addition in Novato, and a historic building renovation in downtown Sacramento. Max says he enjoys plan analysis and job planning, discovering proactively what needs to be addressed in each job. Max also has great client relations skills formulated when he served as head of the Service and Warranty Department at a previous job.

Existing employees are also receiving training to work on LEED projects. Noel Scott, Amy Wieck, Don Swift, Kevin Butler, Jennifer Wilson, Paul Nolan, and Laura Roberts have all recently completed LEED Core Concepts training. Hearn employees are encouraged to learn new skills to complement their job efficiency, and the company supports job skills training for all employees. It is Hearn’s policy to hire and keep the most experienced, highly trained professionals in the building industry.
