“To be honest, I'd never have thought that I’d have a career in the construction industry as a Project Engineer. GBI created that opportunity for me. My passions and interests have always been oriented around business, which led to me receiving a degree in Business Management. When I graduated from college three years ago, my plan was to return home to the Big Island and start a career in land development. Three weeks after returning home, I was extremely fortunate to start an internship with GBI’s Big Island Region. When I started, I openly expressed that I wanted to achieve a better understanding of civil construction to accommodate my goal of becoming a developer. Knowing this, GBI focused my internship around estimating and provided resources to assist me with my original plan. Fortunately, plans can change. On the first day of my internship, I realized GBI was a special company. As my internship progressed, I found myself enjoying the work I was doing and really started to appreciate the opportunity that GBI had created for me. Coming from a business background, with continuous exposure to companies that advertise themselves as organizations that ʻvalue their employees’ and say ʻtheir company is like a family.’ From my experience, these companies typically articulate this concept without actually meaning it. As time progressed, it became clear that GBI does not fall into this category. At its core, GBI is truly a family company with an exceptional culture and genuinely good people. Looking back, the original reason I wanted to be a developer was to have a career that would benefit, impact, and give back to the community in a positive way. The more time I spent with GBI, I realized that I could still achieve those goals with this company. Today, when I reflect on the past three years, I tend to describe my experience with GBI as an ‘overdose of good fortune.’ My name is John Bergin, Project Engineer for the Big Island Region… and I am proud to be a part of the Goodfellow family.” #WeAreGBI #GoodfellowBros #ContractorOfChoice #GBIHawaii

A heartfelt thanks to our Goodfellow Bros. GoodDeeds Teams! We're proud to share that our team in Oahu, HI participated in their second Pearlridge Center's "Stuff the Bus" drive, in partnership with Ground Transport Inc and Hawaii State Department of Education. Thanks to our generous community, we collected school supplies that will be distributed to 898 students facing homelessness or unstable housing in Aiea, Pearl City, Waipahu, and Kapolei Complex schools. In addition, our Big Island team had a fantastic time packing backpacks at a team luncheon. These backpacks, donated to the West Hawaii Child Welfare office, will support their vital programs in family and child services. Our Wenatchee, WA team joined in the fun with over 20 backpacks, stuffed and stocked with grade-specific gear. We also collected large bags of shareable classroom materials, art supplies and snacks. Collaborating with Communities In Schools of North Central Washington, we were able to meet specific, precise needs of local students. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed and supported these efforts. Together, we're making a real difference in our communities! #GBIGoodDeeds #StuffTheBus #EducationMatters #HawaiiPublicSchools #WeAreGoodfellow

In the heart of Northern California lies the growing town of Lincoln, home to the new Twelve Bridges High School. This state-of-the-art institution represents not just an educational milestone for the community, but also a testament to the power of collaboration and perseverance in construction. Over the summer, GBI imported approximately 25,000 cubic yards of soil, working closely with FLINT and the Western Placer Unified School District to deliver a product that exceeded expectations. Shane Bradley, Project Manager for FLINT, expressed his appreciation for GBI’s efforts, stating, “When Western Placer Unified School District awarded FLINT the Twelve Bridges High School Athletic Fields and Concession project, we were excited to partner up again with Goodfellow Bros. and finish what we started. GBI’s commitment from day one, proposing significant value-engineered options, helped the district meet their budget goals. This, in turn, allowed for upgrades and kept the project on track. GBI is a true partner, and FLINT always appreciates their professionalism and commitment to ensuring a successful project.” Explore how the project unfolded in our latest newsroom story:  https://lnkd.in/gWvuiGme #CaliforniaContractors #Excavator #Dozer #HeavyCivil #GoodfellowBros #TwelveBridgesHS
