Belky Machado
Director of Human Resources
In my 23 years at Karsten, I've never had to worry about work slowing down. The company plans ahead, keeps good people working, and makes sure projects are lined up. That consistency and leadership are why I'm still here today.
Juan Rodriguez
Superintendent
I started at Karsten in 2013 as a Field Foreman. My field experience and safety-first mindset gave me a strong foundation, and over time, I earned opportunities to grow, first as an Assistant Project Manager, then as a Project Manager. Today, I'm taking on a new challenge in Estimating.
