ποΈπ· Introducing Jeffrey Krieg, AKA "Red Dog," a Maintenance Mechanic at Schuff Steel and a true living legend of the craft! With 45 years at Schuff Steel, Jeffrey embodies everything our 50th Anniversary celebration is about: dedication, craftsmanship, and taking pride in the work.
Jeffrey has done it all at Schuff Steel. Starting as a general laborer, he worked his way through welder, welder/fitter, and team leader before landing in his current role keeping our welding machines and cranes running. There truly is never a dull moment.
π Some of his most memorable projects: Jeffrey's hands have helped build some of Schuff Steel's most iconic structures. The MGM Grand, the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, and Chase Field (formerly Bank One Ballpark) to name a few. At Chase Field, his team fabricated massive trusses that to this day remain one of the most impressive feats of steel fabrication he's been a part of. As Jeffrey puts it, 'It's still standing, welded with my own hands.'
π‘What keeps him coming back? You can't do what we do at Schuff Steel anywhere else. For Jeffrey, it has always been about the craft and taking real pride in the work, building things that stand the test of time.
π© Advice for those just starting out: "Come here, dig in, and actually learn the trade. Take pride in what you're doing. Don't just make it a paycheck."
πͺ‘ Outside of work: When he's not on the shop floor, Jeffrey is working with his hands in a different way, doing upholstery on everything from couches to cars, and spending time camping and fishing. A craftsman through and through! π£ποΈ
πThank you, Jeffrey, for 45 years of dedication, craftsmanship, and pride in the work at Schuff Steel. Here's to 50 years of Schuff Steel and many more! π
