Alanna Swenski | Summer Intern
Age: 20
Years at Glenn Rieder: 2
What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
I report to my mentor for the outline of my day. He gives me drawings for an ongoing project and walks through the revisions I am to make in AutoCAD.
How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I attend the MSOE, which hosts an annual Career Fair. I researched the companies in attendance that aligned with my interest (Architectural Engineering) and found Glenn Rieder there. This is my second year with GlennRieder as an intern.
What is the best part about your job?
It has been very convenient to have my desk beside my mentor because it allows me to easily ask questions and work one-on-one with him.
Dartanion Seller | Fabricator
Age: 21
Years at Glenn Rieder: 6 months
What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
On a day-to-day basis I start my day off by turning on and setting up the machine I’m using that day, which are the Panel Saw and Panel Press. I cut sheet goods material into parts and layup different veneers and laminates onto sheet goods.
How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I started through a Youth Apprentice Program as a Rough Mill Operator, where I learned each department of the construction floor, and what it takes to complete a project. My career path started at Glenn Rieder as an Apprentice, and now as a full-time employee.
What is the best part about your job?
The best part about my job is seeing the final product at the jobsite, knowing everything that went into finishing the job. The fact it all started in Rough Mill as nothing but sheet goods and lumber, and knowing that I was a part of that.
