Jenna Abraham
rPM
Jenna coordinated some new events for residents of our properties this year such as a pizza and puzzle night competition. She is working on a dirty soda bar in march and a passport event to highlight the amenities at the Metropolitan in April for residents and prospect residents. She has found ways for us to highlight/market our properties in a new ways. she creates a premier experience for our residents and opportunities for future residents to rent with us.
Darin Horner
RCC
Got a chance to work closer with Darin at The Flats. I have been around him on other projects, but this one was different. I really noticed the partnership he created with the RPMR team. Very friendly and talkative daily with our team. Learned little things about him and his family! Made sure to share updates if he knew of anything and really tried to make sure he helped complete everything at the building. If he had a question, he would come find myself or Lindsey O to make sure he was completing the way we envisioned, it. If there was an adjustment needed, he just rolled with it. Really enjoyed getting to know him better and working with him.
miguel Mercado
rW
Miguel from day 1 has always been forthright on his abilities as a lead person. For starters Miguel is always on time, typically 15-20 mins. on the jobsite. Second of all Miguel has a very positive attitude towards the job and life in general, he is devoted to making sure all tasks given too him are executed as flawless as possible. Miguel expresses the need for everyone to work safely and efficiently on site. Miguel is just one of the many driving forces behind the success and the amount of work that gets completed on a day to day basis. Miguel is a “lead by example” type of individual which is the cornerstone of why the State Lab project has ran as smooth as it does. Miguel is very eager to promote himself to learn more about this industry and is always eager to learn, example: i have taken him under my wing and teaching Miguel how to read blue prints to become even more of a asset to Roers. Miguel is a very well adaptive individual, and is not afraid to take on any task given to him.
Nic Braun
RW
Nic took the opportunity to step up when his lead man was pulled to a different job and successfully completed the punch list at the BSC Polytechnic building job in Bismarck. This list started with a 100 plus items. He did this needing very little assistance.
We appreciate his willingness to take the opportunity to tackle this list on his own with minimal help.
Quarter 2 - 2024
Lindsey O’Driscoll
RPM
Being able to keep things organized in a hectic 18 months of a project is what Lindsey O has accomplished. Between new hires coming and going, training, turnover, and helping with the managing of opening a new property, she has grown in her role and has become a great leader. Kudos to Lindsey for taking the right path when property issues arise, difficult tenant communications are needed or project deadlines are changed. When The Metropolitan was opening, Lindsey was swamped and likely overwhelmed, but when residents arrived on opening day, they would never have known. She was professional and made each one of them feel welcome. When issues arose in a few units after move in, she calmly listened to each and ensured everything would be taken care of.
Dalton Olson
RCC
I want to nominate Dalton as he is truly a hard worker. He works well with RPMR. Working with him on The Metropolitan has made it so smooth. He listens to our crazy ideas and needs of the building. He faces every issue head on and is doing a great job with the team at The Metropolitan. I am grateful to be working along side of him during this building opening.
Jeff Ekern
RCC
Jeff does an excellent job of keeping jobsites safe. He is not afraid to go after subcontractors that may not be following the safety policies, and give them a little “on-the-job training”. He is an advocate and a poster-boy for PPE. See Picture Attached. Jeff was nominated by the RCC safety committee.
Caden Opheim
rCC
Caden is a great worker on tasks and jobs assigned. He takes responsibility of the job at hand, is always willing to ask questions and learn, and he’s always on time.
Field Crew!
rCC & RW
Field personnel are called on to make sacrifices. We expect our crews to work in all conditions: rain, snow, heat, extreme cold. They work long hours, from one project to the next, no matter the circumstances. You could say they are more reliable than the US mail. “Neither Rain Nor Steel Or Snow Will Detour Us From The Swift Completion Of Our Project.”
I believe the entire team has earned recognition. I would take these crews on any project. Construction is such a time driven industry. It is a recognizable achievement to bring a project in on time.

Lindsey Fischer

The way Lindsey has handled herself through all the ups and downs of property management and to taking on a new role with commercial is an example to all. there is nothing Lindsey F cannot take on. She has lots of experience and ideas for the property management world that a lot of people look to her for advice. She has worked hard to making sure construction and residential build that relationship and partnership to build success in our current and future projects. Lindsey is someone I know many of us look up to and look to for many things here at Roers.

rPM
Xavier is always willing to take on more and learn from other teammates. By jumping into new things he is getting to experience learning and being on his own. His customer service skills are very good as well. He works really hard and stays on top of voicemails, texts, and applications. He goes above and beyond when he needs to, is a team player and he has been a great coworker to work with
Bryce Osksa

Bryce takes each task head on and is willing to get the job done views it as an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience. Not only does Bryce work hard on his day to day tasks as a project engineer but he is also super helpful in looking a head into the fine details for what is upcoming on our Minot projects.
Jacob Levin
RW
Jacob calls his safety manager at least once a week(sometimes daily) with safety concerns or questions about regulations that need clarification. He is taking the time to grow his knowledge of how to run a jobsite safely and correctly. He does not cut corners or see what he can get by with but rather he finds out the safe way to do a task from the get go.

Brian Bjerklie
rCC
This employee has had Roers’ back for more than a decade. You will never catch Brian not wearing his hi-vis clothing on-site, which says he goes above and beyond the required PPE policy that Roers has in place. Brian has been the guard rail installer for years on our big projects, and you. can always count on them to be up to code without rechecking his work. There is no telling how many lives he has saved over the years due to his consistent safety rail installation. He. is certainly not afraid to speak up on safety issues or any others for that matter.

There were 45 years worth of reasons at Ricks retirement party. Rick truly cares about Roers and the people he works with. He is working tirelessly towards a smooth transition.
