\u201cOver the years, Poettker has earned a reputation for building relationships and buildings in the safest and most cost-efficient way possible, all while maintaining the highest degree of quality and emphasis on sustainable design solutions,\u201d said Ryan Poettker, president of ¾¨Ó㴫ý. \u201cI could not be prouder of our team\u2019s safety-first mindset and commitment to bettering the communities we live and serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poettker continued its track record for outstanding safety performance with nearly 400,000 work hours performed without a lost time incident in 2023.

This year, the company enhanced its preconstruction, estimating, and project management teams with the promotion of 17 integral team members across every level.<\/p>\n

In public works, construction continued on two new fire stations for North County Fire & Rescue<\/a>, and a groundbreaking was held on the new Public Safety Building at Emerson Park Metro Station<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Poettker excelled in the Midwest and Southeast industrial markets with over 4.3 million square feet of distribution and warehouse space<\/a> under construction in 2023. The company\u2019s federal team<\/a> continued to build a variety of mission-critical headquarters complexes, hangars, airfield pavements, laboratory centers, and health campus infrastructure projects. In retail<\/a>, Poettker enhanced online shopping, grocery pickup, and distribution services at 32 facilities for multiple national clients.<\/p>\n

In the utility and infrastructure market<\/a>, Poettker continued its multi-phased work on substations, transmission and distribution lines, restoration projects, and facility renovations throughout Illinois and Missouri.<\/p>\n

Poettker also had a very strong year in the higher education<\/a> and PK-12 markets<\/a>. The company served as the construction management partner for 12 districts located throughout the Metro East and Southern Illinois; continued its partnership with Kaskaskia College<\/a> as their construction manager for a five-year network-wide facility improvement initiative; was selected to serve on the design-build team for Southern Illinois University \u2013 Edwardsville<\/a>\u2019s 221,000 SF Health Sciences building; and kicked off the six-year Parkway School District<\/a> improvement program with seven separate active projects underway heading into 2024.<\/p>\n

Poettker also partnered with Junior Achievement<\/a>, Big Brothers Big Sisters<\/a>, CEO entrepreneurship program<\/a>, Boy Scouts of America<\/a>, CharacterPlus<\/a>, and area nonprofits, schools, and colleges to expand educational opportunities in the local communities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
