We’re excited to announce the completion of another successful annual WIMCO Corp Superintendent Conference! These meetings are a key part of what makes WIMCO strong, giving our superintendents an in-depth look into our expectations, best practices, training, safety, and of course, building camaraderie. This year, we also treated our hardworking team to some well-deserved downtime, where they could choose between in-shore or off-shore fishing or a round of golf. A big thank you to all of our superintendents for your continued dedication and the energy you bring to every project! Here’s to another great year ahead!

Looking forward to collaborating with this TEAM. Here’s to a successful build!

As summer draws to a close, we're saying farewell to our incredible Summer 2024 interns. Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating our incredible summer interns with a well-deserved steak dinner. These young men have worked hard, shown immense dedication, and truly became part of the WIMCO family over the summer. As an additional token of our appreciation, we're thrilled to share that the WIMCO Charitable Foundation awarded each of them a $500.00 scholarship to support your continued growth and education. We couldn't be more proud of the effort, enthusiasm, and fresh perspectives they brought to our team. Their contributions have made a real impact, and we're excited to see where their futures take them. To our interns: Thank you for your hard work and commitment. You are always welcome back at WIMCO, and we hope to see you again soon! #WIMCOInterns #WIMCOFamily #FutureLeaders
