Derek began his Nabholz career as a welder for our Industrial operations.

Having proved his abilities, Derek was placed in a leadership role on a continuous industrial services project.

Derek took courses and training needed to become a Mine Safety & Health Administration-Approved instructor.

Again recognizing his skills and leadership abilities, Derek's supervisors gave him opportunities to learn about management and leadership through on-site management assignments.

Derek earned a much-deserved promotion to Project Manager and graduated from Nabholz' in-house leadership development program, Leadership Nabholz.

Through hard work and a commitment to great customer service, Derek became a leader in Nabholz' rail industry project management across the lower 48 states.

Committed to Nabholz' guiding principle of Safety, Derek earned his OSHA 30-Hour Certification.

A former welder, Derek is now Nabholz' Director of Railroad Services. In this role he oversees a fast-growing division that serves rail companies and transit systems from coast to coast.
