Like Getting Dirty

www.TeamElmers.com EExsCcpoaChnvracaalrnttei™eotsen

Not many people can say they get to play in
the dirt for a living. Team Elmer’s, a family
owned company since 1956, is comprised of
four divisions – Asphalt, Excavation, Concrete
and Crane & Rigging. Our Traverse City,
Michigan-based company proudly employs more
than 400 skilled professionals, and operates out
of 14 locations across Michigan.
Launched in 1956 by Elmer Schaub, the seven-
employee company was bought in 1977 by
Butch Broad, an energetic entrepreneur who
steadily expanded Elmer’s for decades. Today,
our company is led by Broad’s three children
and an experienced management team.
Our professionals have led and supported many
of the largest and most complex projects in

the region over the past decades,
including the site construction of
some of the most prominent public
and private schools, churches, state
and federal roads and bridges, shop-
ping centers, medical centers, hotels, and public
institutions throughout the state. Satisfied clients
include the U.S. government, the State of Michi-
gan, virtually every county road commission in
the areas Team Elmer’s serves, Michigan’s top
construction companies, and tens of thousands of
private companies and individuals. If you like to
play in the dirt, we would like to talk to you.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE A JOB.
TEAM ELMER’S OFFERS A CAREER.

A job is work performed in exchange for payment. A career is an
occupation undertaken with opportunity for progress. It allows you
to contribute to a legacy greater than yourself and continually
changes as you grow. If you have ever heard the story of the two
stone masons, you may understand.

“A man approached two stone masons at work. He asks the
first, “What is your job?” The man replies, “I am a stone mason.

I cut the stone and place it in this wall. It is tedious,
sweaty work that wears you down by the end of the
day.” The man approaches the second stone mason,
asking him, “What is your job?” The second replies,
“I am an artist. I am building this beautiful cathedral
that will stand against time. My grandchildren’s grandchildren will
be able to admire my work. It is tedious, sweaty work that re-
wards me every day.”

Team Elmer’s has several divisions that allow you to develop a
career to build a better community for your family, neighbors, and
state, through infrastructure development. You create the roads

your family will travel on, deliver concrete to the structures

your grandchildren will attend, and install the drinking water
systems that will sustain your community. Most positions
require a fast paced work ethic with attention to detail and a
positive, problem solving attitude. We excel at problem solving.
As retired baseball player, Carlton Fisk, once said, “It’s not what
you achieve, it’s what you overcome. That’s what defines your
career.” If you like to overcome obstacles, contact Team
Elmer’s. We want to meet you.

“ The family atmosphere at Team Elmer’s was a big selling
point for me. Not only do I get to come to work each

day and actually do something I enjoy, but I get to do it
”surrounded by great people as well.
– A J Lawhead
