Thriving in a Civilian Career at County Ready Mix: Drew’s Story
Drew Erickson is a sales representative with County Ready Mix. A former member of the U.S. Air Force, he feels that his military tenure instilled values in him that prepared him well for a career in concrete manufacturing.
“One of the biggest values that the armed forces teaches is teamwork,” Drew says. “The sales team I work with in Central Wisconsin reminds me of my time served in the military because we all work very hard together as a team.”
County Ready Mix actively recruits veterans and service members like Drew because they consistently bring a strong work ethic, attention to detail, commitment to teamwork, and leadership skills that drive our company’s performance.
At County Ready Mix, we recognize that service members sometimes face challenges when trying to articulate their skills in a way that aligns with civilian job descriptions. We work with veterans and service members to align their Military Occupational Specialties with careers within our company.
We provide on-the-job training, and many positions with great growth potential require no additional credentialing or education, so you can launch your new civilian career immediately.
Supporting veterans and service members in their transition back into civilian life is a priority for our company. We have a Gold Business Membership in the Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce (WVCC) and proudly support the chamber’s advocacy efforts on behalf of Wisconsin veterans, and we also support many veteran-focused organizations within the communities where we have locations that help veterans, service members, and their families thrive.
“The thing I love most about my job is being part of every major project that comes to the greater Wausau area,” Drew says. “I love seeing Wausau grow! I’m a people person and love teaching and selling to our customers. The sales team I work with is amazing and I’m very fortunate to be working with them.”
