We are excited to introduce our last highlight for Women in Construction Week - Meet Cathy!👋🏽

Cathy is our Scale House Clerk in our Hollister Quarry! She has been in the industry for four years, two of them being with the Capital team! Cathy wears several hats in her role, including weighmaster, truck dispatcher, and rock sales!
Her favorite part of working at the quarry is the guys she works with.
“We all respect one another and have respect for the job that each one of us do. We all play a part and couldn’t get one job accomplished without everyone else. We are like a family here, and though there can be stressful days, we all pull together and make it work smoothly!”

We are so proud to have you on our team, Cathy!

Meet Marie Britton!

Marie is a Shop Welder/Fabricator at our Capital Hauling shop in Jefferson City. After attending the Missouri Welding Institute, Marie has gained 7+ years of experince in the welding and fabricating industry. She chose a career in this industry because she is a hands on person and has always loved the idea of creating something out of nothing.

Marie’s advice to anyone considering joining the industry is to be prepared to put in a hard day’s work and to be proud of what you accomplished!

“Never be afraid of learning something new. You never know what you’re going to be good at, and you will never know if it’s something you’re going to enjoy until you try it.”

Thank you, Marie, for providing your strong skill set and passion for your work. We are thankful to have you on our team! ... See MoreSee Less

“There’s this stigma of having to prove yourself because you’re a woman. While this may still be true in some places, this industry has become more welcoming and supportive of women. We are forever grateful for the women who paved the way for us.”

Meet Rachel!

Rachel has been a Quality Control Technician and Radiation Safety Officer since our company was founded in 2016. Rachel has an Associates of Applied Science and a Degree in Civil Engineering Technology from State Technical College of Missouri and has been in the asphalt industry for 9 years! She enjoys the balance of field and administrative work with her position because it keeps her brain sharp and enriched. But most of all, Rachel’s favorite part of working in the construction industry is the people she works with!

Hear what Director of Quality Control, Darryl Winegar, has to say about what Rachel brings to their team: "Rachel is a key component of Capital Materials and our QC team. She has a subtle discipline and leads by example in this group. We appreciate her unique ability to bring creativity as well as attention to detail!"

Thank you, Rachel, for "doing the dang thing!" We are lucky to have you in the Capital family! See Rachel's advice for women considering joining the industry below! ... See MoreSee Less

"There is so much more to construction than hammers and hardhats!”

Meet our teammate, Lauren!👊🏼

Lauren has been an asset to the Capital team since our founding in 2016. She currently supports our team as a Financial Business Manager for our Asphalt Operations. She is also the Project Accountant for CapitalTezak, a Design-Build project for the Colorado Department of Transportation. She began her journey in the industry as a Cost Control Analyst for Capital, with very little knowledge of the industry (look how far she’s come)! She worked closely with our project managers to help bridge the gap between the field operations and management staff. She then moved into the Financial Business Manager position over our Construction Division. Folding in the Asphalt Division to her umbrella has helped paint a full picture of our business and has allowed her to be a great asset to both our construction and asphalt production teams. Her transition from role to role has been a natural progression, as she has learned more about our company and developed key skills to support our operations and management teams.

“Like most other types of businesses, we need all the important support staff to run a successful operation. From Accounting to Human Resources, IT to Business Development, this industry is fast-paced and has endless opportunities for those who want to be challenged and grow their career. As a female in a male-dominated industry, we can quickly set ourselves apart by bringing our strong work-ethic and determination to the table every day; whether behind a piece of equipment or at a desk.”

Lauren has her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from University of Missouri-Columbia, and a Master of Business Administration from William Woods University. She is also a Certificated Construction Industry Financial Professional (CCIFP) through the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA).

Lauren, thank you for being a huge asset to the Capital Team and Construction Industry. We are proud of all the things you have done, and all the things you will do!
