This October, we’re excited to highlight Abby Blackwell for Connect with Cooper! Learn more about Abby, her years of service at Cooper Steel, and the impact she continues to make on our team. 🤩

"I began my career at Cooper Steel as an intern, and while in college, I was hired part-time as an administrative assistant. This role helped me build a strong foundation for my career as I assisted the HR and Accounting departments with various tasks. An opportunity then arose for me to join the accounts payable department, and it proved to be the perfect fit. Since then, I have worked my way up from assistant to specialist and now manager.

I would not be where I am today without the amazing leaders who have guided me and poured wisdom into me over the last seven years. The accounts payable team and the accounting department as a whole are truly family to me, and they motivate me to show up every day and go all out. I am excited to continue striving for growth within myself, my team, and the company."

Meet Francis Turner!

For more than three years, Francis has been a valued member of the Cooper Steel team. As a Foreman, he helps lead our ironworker crews and plays a key role in delivering successful projects from the ground up.

Learn more about Francis and his journey with Cooper Steel in this month's spotlight. ⬇️

"I have been a Foreman for Cooper Steel's Self-Perform Group for nearly two years now. My daily work mainly involves looking over site drawings to ensure that the building we’re working on is going up as it should. Of course, we have deadlines and schedules that we must adhere to, so my goal is to keep the crew going as smoothly and as efficiently as possible.

Safety is always a priority when it comes to erecting structures, as there’s potential for people to get hurt. So, as a team, we all look out for each other.

The part of my job that I enjoy the most is seeing when we go from standing the first set of columns to hanging the last piece of the job. There’s just something about seeing a building finished where there was once nothing but dirt.

Whenever there is a challenge, I'm motivated by remembering: A man is not defined by how many times life knocks him down, but by how many times he chooses to stand back up. Keep on pushing when it’s hard. Keep your chin up. Keep on walking when the road feels lonely, and keep believing when doubt gets loud. Your struggles are not the end of your story; they’re molding you into the man you’re to be. So, rise up, straighten that crown, and keep moving forward. The best chapters of your life are waiting for you to write them."
