🎉 Celebrating 10 Years with Josh Ellis! 🎉
Josh’s path into the trades started with an unexpected conversation about a motorcycle, when someone suggested he reach out to Stan Bradle with Steamfitters Local #353. That advice led Josh to begin his apprenticeship in 2011 and, a few years later, join H&S as an apprentice.
Over the past 10 years, Josh has continued to grow his skills and take on new challenges—something he says is one of the things he values most about working at H&S. Today, he’s putting that experience to work leading a project at Ozinga in Peoria, which he considers his most memorable project yet. Josh enjoys the satisfaction of building something tangible and the opportunity to lead work and help shape the process from start to finish.
His advice to someone entering the trades? Take advantage of every opportunity to learn and try new things.
Outside of work, Josh stays busy keeping up with his three teenagers and their activities.
Josh says he’s always been treated well at H&S, and we’re proud to recognize his growth, leadership, and 10 years as part of our team. Congratulations, Josh!
