CONNECT

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT OUR "ORGANIZATIONAL WHY"?

At Rosendin, we’ve always believed that the foundation of any great company is its people. Over the last few months, I’ve met many of you in different corners of the country. Our We Connect tour – an initiative to meet and hear from employees directly across the country –has reminded me how much we learn by listening. Your questions, ideas, concerns, and shared hopes have helped me center on something essential: everything we do starts and ends with our people.

In the tour, I take the time to discuss our "why." This is important because it helps us focus on what really matters: our people, our work, and the impact we create in the communities we serve.

We build trust and confidence, inspiring and empowering people to achieve greatness. This is our why. It’s what’s in our core; it moves us, gets us up in the morning, and keeps us going, whether we’re on a job site or behind a desk.

We bring this to life through our mission: Building Quality. Building Value. Building People. We live it daily through our values: We Care, We Listen, We Share, We Innovate, We Excel.

Our why is the result of thoughtful conversations among our senior leaders. We spent some time digging deep to understand what drives us, and the result was this concept of greatness. Not just good enough. Not just checking the box. Greatness, in how we treat one another, in safety,

"We build trust and confidence, inspiring and empowering people to achieve greatness."

and in how we deliver, serve, and innovate. But here's the truth, greatness isn’t about perfection or status. It’s about intention. It’s about how we show up to our teams in our decision-making. It doesn't matter where you sit in the organization—everyone at Rosendin is capable of it.

You don’t have to look far to see this in action. You notice it when a crew begins the day with a safety check, not just to meet requirements, but because they truly care about each other’s well-being. You notice it when teammates take a moment to check in on one another. You see it when employees volunteer to serve their communities, or when regional teams rally to support a local cause.

We live this greatness and it is clear in the quality of our work—the pride we take in getting it right, in how we work together to innovate, learning from our failures and redirecting when needed. When we treat our partners and clients with integrity and respect, when we step up to welcome and mentor a new hire, and when we handle disagreements openly and respectfully, we are living our why through our mission and upholding our values. That is what makes these everyday moments so important. Our "Why" creates the building blocks of our culture. When practiced repeatedly, they become the consistency that reinforces who we are, regardless of where we work or how much we grow.

One of the values we hold dear is ‘We Listen,’ and it’s been a big part of how I’ve approached this tour. Leaning into it, I’ve learned a great deal. I’m energized to see how much potential we have in our people. Moving forward, let’s remember this "why" that drives us, let our mission guide our choices, and live our values. Together, we’ll keep striving for greatness.

To everyone on the Rosendin team and all those we work with, thank you for being part of this journey and making it a meaningful experience.

Be Well,

SAFETY WEEK

2025 RECAP

We take great pride in shaping our communities. But, even more than that, we feel an unwavering responsibility to one another, our families, and our friends to make sure we all return home safe every day.

Here at Rosendin, safety goes beyond a set of procedures and protocols—it’s part of our culture. Because of our commitment to safety, we celebrate Construction Safety Week every year alongside more than 70 national and global construction firms. Together, we provide insights, resources, and equipment standards that inspire everyone in our industry to be safety leaders.

“Whether it’s proper PPE, the training necessary to ensure that pre-task work plans consider all the potential hazards, or training to support your team’s mental health, we want you to own your part in creating a proactive and safe working environment,” said CEO, Keith Douglas.

This year, we committed ourselves to safety education from top to bottom and covered various topics over the week.

Monday, May 5 | Plan with Precision

Tuesday, May 6 | Identifying High Energy Hazards

Wednesday, May 7 | Own Your Part

Thursday, May 8 | Engage and Empower Team Members Friday, May 9 | Commit to Excellence

Monday, May 12 | Thank You for Your Commitment to Safety

Safety Week is also an opportunity to reflect on recent positive changes Rosendin has made to update our safety processes and procedures.

“Last year, we took on the monumental task of transitioning to helmets to provide a higher level of protection for our people,” said VP of Safety, Scott Risch. “We pushed to have everything completed in one year. I’m super excited that we were able to get that accomplished.”

Risch and the Rosendin Safety team are committed to keeping employees safe and ensuring everyone feels empowered to speak up when something looks or feels unsafe.

Every day, we walk onto construction sites with one goal in mind—getting the job done safely. We take great pride in shaping the communities in which we live, work, and play. But even more than that, we feel an unwavering responsibility to one another, our families, and our friends, to make sure we all return home safe every day.

In our industry, safety is not just a series of procedures and protocols but a unified culture that empowers every person on the job site— from craft professionals to project and business leaders—to recognize and act on any potential risk. We’re building awareness of holistic safety, which requires a strong mind, a strong body, and the right state of mind for every task, on every job, every day.

We encourage everyone to keep celebrating beyond Safety Week by demonstrating your continued commitment to building a stronger, safer industry together. ·

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT:

FROM TRAINING SESSIONS TO FIELD APPLICATION

Lockout/tagout (LOTO) is an essential safety procedure at every job site. This procedure effectively prevents injury or death by ensuring electrical equipment is shut off and only restarted once repairs are made. It’s a method that not just Rosendin implements; it’s part of OSHA’s standards and is used across the electrical industry. This year, Rosendin employees were able to teach the importance of LOTO through training sessions in Texas and utilize it successfully in the field.

TRAINING IN TEXAS

In April, members of the Rosendin Safety team were invited to the annual SafeTX training event. This internal regional safety meeting, held annually in Dallas by construction company Brasfield & Gorrie (B&G), emphasizes safety and facilitates continuing education for all field and office management in North Texas.

For this specific training, the team focused on Lockout/ Tagout (LOTO). In three weeks, along with the prefab group led by General Foreman Andrew De Regge, the team could fabricate a LOTO trailer with monitors and a PA system. General Foreman Ian Quigley created the one line and sequence of operation, and Senior Safety Manager Chad Shivers developed the curriculum.

Through this combined effort, the team performed three one-hour trainings for 105 people, including commercial, industrial, healthcare, and mission-critical leaders. Additionally, team members provided electrical room awareness training and performed a Live-Dead-Live demonstration.

During two breakout sessions, teams learned how to audit LOTO books in the field and how a remote chicken switch operates. These sessions were designed to be an open forum that encouraged engagement and gave the opportunity for people to ask tough questions to fully understand the ‘why’ behind these procedures.

“I can’t speak highly enough about this team, the content and execution were nothing short of exceptional,” said Project Executive Darwin Guthrie. “They exemplified the value Rosendin brings as an organization to each of their jobsites. B&G’s senior leadership was also in attendance for each of the presentations and said it was hands-down the best presentation ever made at any of their SafeTX meetings.” ·

Be a LOTO Safety Hero

A LIFESAVING LOTO CATCH

At a job site in Texas, Rosendin field employees noticed maintenance being formed on a buck hoist pit that did not have the proper LOTO procedure applied and immediately shut down the work on the designated disconnect.

Team members cleared the site and contacted the General Contractor to better understand what was happening. After a brief investigation, the crane and buck hoist company did not have proper knowledge of electrical systems or LOTO. To avoid the risk of injury, the Rosendin team helped them with Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) review, stand-down, and retraining on safety procedures.

Luckily, no one at the site was injured, but it was an important lesson for all employees.

“A lot of other contractors do not know how electrical systems work and likely also don’t know how effective LOTO works,” said Project Safety Manager Wyatt Geibel. “If you ever encounter something like this, do not hesitate to say something. With no LOTO applied and disconnecting the power to the buck hoist cars, one miscommunication could have ended a man’s life.”

With proper training and attention to detail at jobsites, any Rosendin employee can be a safety hero in LOTO procedure. If you have any questions about LOTO or want to learn more about safety on the job, check out OSHA’s standards . Wyatt Geibel & Jaxon Webster

HEADQUARTERS TENANT IMPROVEMENT

Location: San Francisco

Client: Confidential Biotech Client

General Contractors: XL Construction

Budget: $37 Million

Size: 260,000 Sq. Ft.

Rosendin recently completed a major tenant improvement (TI) project for a confidential biotechnical company, providing a comprehensive electrical scope across 260,000 square feet. The work spanned nine full-floor buildouts within two existing multi-story core & shell buildings, supporting the client’s new headquarters.

Each of the nine floors was designed with a 50/50 split between high-power-density laboratory spaces and office/support areas, requiring robust electrical infrastructure and precise coordination.

SCOPE HIGHLIGHTS:

Rosendin’s Division 10 Team in Concord was responsible for a comprehensive package, including:

· Full electrical room buildouts on each floor.

· Power distribution systems supporting both critical and non-critical loads.

· Temporary power services to support phased construction.

· Installation of energy-efficient lighting and advanced lighting controls.

· Low-voltage pathway infrastructure to support data and communications systems.

· Fire alarm system design and installation for life safety compliance.

· Placement of power devices on walls, ceilings, and floors to support lab and office needs.

The project’s complexity was heightened by integrating three distinct power systems: an uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Emergency Power, and Normal Power. These systems ensured reliability, redundancy, and continuous operation in the lab environments.

Due to the close collaboration between field teams, project managers, and trade partners, Rosendin delivered a highperformance electrical installation that supports innovation and discovery at the heart of the biotech industry. ·

THE LESSER-KNOWN

ESOP BENEFITS

Did you know that studies have revealed that there are additional, lesser-known benefits to working at an employeeowned company? Data insights point to employee-owned companies being more likely to retain their employees during times of economic downturn compared to nonemployee-owned companies. For example, during the COVID pandemic, employee-owned companies were able to retain employees at their current rate of pay and benefits while maintaining workplace safety compared to nonemployee-owned companies.1 Data has also shown that employment in ESOPs increased by more than 60% between 2001 and 2011, while employment rates in the private sector had flat or negative growth in the same period. 2

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

Employee-owned companies also tend to support their local economies by creating and maintaining jobs that stay in their local community. By hiring and investing in local communities, ESOPs help ensure that jobs remain local and do not become outsourced. 3 Further, ESOP companies tend to invest in the areas where they are based, which directly affects the communities they come from.

EDUCATIONAL FOCUS

Education opportunities also arise for those who work at employee-owned companies through facilitators such as the ESOP Association and the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO). Each year, the ESOP Association launches its new scholarship foundation to help send dependents of those who work at employee-owned companies to college.4

If you have any questions, please reach out to Laura Isaacs, ESOP Administrator.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

In addition to hiring directly from the communities they serve, ESOPs also give back in other ways. This can be done through volunteer event days, local training programs, and investing in the next generation of workers. 5 At Rosendin, we do this through our valuable work with The Rosendin Foundation and opportunities such as TRF Camp Build, annual grant giving to local non-profits organizations, and through our annual internship program, to name a few.

National

By working at Rosendin, MPS, and TRF, you directly contribute to the company’s success and the continued success and support of the very communities that we come from.
