Construction Leadership That Puts Families First

What does it take to build a 90-person steel erection team that actually wants to come to work? In this episode, Ryan Englin sits down with Scott Sappington, CEO of Pro Steel Erectors, to unpack the construction leadership practices behind three decades of steady growth in Arizona. Scott shares how a $500 start and two credit cards turned into thousands of projects, why his crews rarely travel, and how firm core values shape daily field decisions. You’ll hear real examples of foreman training, safety standards that actually stick, and a “work to live” policy that keeps families first.
