Employee Spotlights

Bryce Bordelon has been a dedicated team member at AP since graduating from college, with over six years of experience at the company (seven, if you include his internship at AP). AP has been instrumental in shaping his career, teaching him the importance of treating people well and the value of continuous evolution in a successful company.

Bryce has embraced the opportunities at AP to grow both personally and professionally, finding a supportive environment that feels like family, even as the company expands. One of the aspects Bryce appreciates most about AP is the commitment to quality and pride that everyone at the company shares. This dedication to excellence is a cornerstone of the AP Way and is something that he finds truly inspiring. The accessibility and transparency of the RLT members also stand out as a highlight of his experience at AP, knowing he can always rely on leadership for support and guidance.

Bryce’s advice for prospective AP candidates is to “be open to guidance from everyone at AP, whether they are Project Engineers, Project Managers, or Superintendents. Advice and direction from colleagues at all levels can be invaluable to your success and the success of your project.”

Over the years, Bryce has contributed to several key projects, including the American Airlines Credit Union, Rockwall County Jail Expansion & Renovation, and Mid Cities Logistics (completing in September). “Successfully completing two Texas Commission on Jail Standards Occupation Inspections within a single year, and both passing on the first attempt stands out as one of my proudest accomplishments,” says Bryce. These experiences have solidified his expertise and deepened Bryce’s appreciation for the opportunities provided by AP.

Looking to the future, Bryce is excited about the potential for AP to take on larger, high-profile projects. He is eager to see the company continue to build on its recent successes.

Steph joined the AP Midwest team in 2022, from her first interaction with the team she knew it was a place she wanted to stay. “From my first interaction with the recruiter to each interview I had with the team I felt welcomed, which was very refreshing,” Steph said. The culture and camaraderie drew her in, but the relationships she has built are a reason AP feels like home.

Steph’s role was rather new to AP when she started. One of her main goals was, and is, to change the perception of HR. “There is a huge misconception that HR only shows up when something is wrong, but really I am here to foster an environment of learning and growth for our team members,” Steph explained. She says that the best part of her job is that she gets to collaborate with so many departments. Collaborating, coaching, and helping these departments look ahead at the big picture is what drives her.

In her time at AP, Steph has made a huge impact on many departments and team members. When asked what is next for her, she says she wants to continue supporting our teams and bring HR to the top of minds when issues arise, regardless of their nature.

Kevin Harrison’s career with AP began before he graduated college, starting as a carpenter while still attending Colorado State University. He then worked his way up from intern to project engineer, assistant superintendent, superintendent and finally, senior superintendent running his own projects. This steadfast growth is a testament to his focus and drive for career advancement.

Kevin is invested in building a healthy team atmosphere and prioritizes maintaining a respectful cohesion on jobsites. This includes not only AP team members, but ownership, design teams and subcontractors. Kevin is acutely aware that in a team atmosphere where all parties have buy-in — collaboration, shared commitment, and a sense of camaraderie prevail. Kevin’s project portfolio is full of awards and accolades that support the success of this philosophy. A project that he looks back on fondly is the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs Windsor Readiness Center. This was the first LEED Platinum project in the country for the Army National Guard.

As a member of the Westminster Public Schools (WPS) CTE Advisory Committee, he creates plans for the school district as they pursue new CTE facilities. This entails getting programming in place for students who want to go into trades before graduating high school. As he looks ahead, Kevin looks forward to new responsibilities and supporting the company’s growth and development. He’s also interested in encouraging employees in their own personal growth.

For those considering a career with AP, Caleb imparts the following advice: “The construction industry is demanding, but at AP, the support for personal growth is unparalleled.
