Banker Steel

This month’s team member highlight features Robert " Bean " Hicks, Banker Steel’s Plant Manager for the Wythe Rd facility. Bean has been in the steel industry for 25 years, with 10 of those being at Banker Steel. A few aspects of his job that he enjoys most are the daily variety of work and fabricating complex pieces. The biggest win of his time at Banker Steel was turning the safety culture of his plant around. His dedication to safety shows, with his plant going 2+ years without a recordable incident. Additionally, working on steel members for JPMorgan Chase’s headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan, was a high point of his career at Banker Steel.   For those just starting out in the industry, Bean has these words of encouragement: ‘Not all days are good ones, but the end result is worth it.’ When Bean isn’t fabricating steel he enjoys spending time with his 3 amazing kids and watching football (Go Chiefs!). Bean, thanks for your hard work and dedication to Banker Steel!

Banker Steel loves supporting our local communities. Recently, we sponsored the Archer Tigers 12U Majors baseball team in Dacula, GA, coached by our own Brent Howard. The Tigers are currently 2nd in the league and hoping to gain even more ground as they round out the regular season and head to the playoffs. Way to go, Tigers!

Two of our plants recently hit an impressive safety milestone: 365 days without a recordable incident. We want to congratulate these individuals on a job well done and express our gratitude for the collective effort required to reach such a goal. Safety is our way of life, not just a task we do, and this commitment is only possible because of the entire team’s contributions towards ensuring Banker Steel is a safe place to work and thrive. #safetyculture #safetymatters #steelconstruction
