WHAT IS IT REALLY LIKE TO WORK AT LEE MECHANICAL
Day in the Life
Ben Quartemont
Technology Specialist
Ben Quartemont is a Technology Specialist at Lee Mechanical, where he builds Revit families, design automations, and internal tools that help the company's coordinators work faster. He collaborates closely with teams to find their pinch points and design solutions that boost efficiency. That work led to Track and Stack, the new inventory system he developed for Lee's Caledonia fabrication and logistics facility. For Ben, the most impactful part of the job is getting to help people every day, troubleshooting alongside them so they can do their best work.
Heather Ladwig
Controller
Heather Ladwig is the Controller at Lee Mechanical, where nearly five years overseeing accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll have made accurate financial data and dependable deadlines part of the daily routine. No two days look the same, but the focus stays constant: keeping the financial side of every project running smoothly and supporting the accounting team. What Heather enjoys most is problem solving, digging into issues and building new processes that make the department more efficient and prevent problems down the road.
Mark Rogers
Yard and Warehouse
Mark Rogers works in the Yard and Warehouse division at Lee Mechanical, where for a little over two years he's handled scheduling, logistics, unloading trucks, and doing whatever it takes to make his coworkers' days easier. His favorite part of the job is the people — a busy crew that always lends a helping hand and still finds time to laugh while getting the work done. Mark takes pride in serving the company's 400-plus employees, getting them what they need when they need it, and keeping everything running smoothly through clear communication.

It’s about QUALITY: in the services, expertise and experience we provide to our customers.
It’s about SUCCESS: for the company, our employees and our customers.
