One of those employees is Linda Braun, who has been with Steffes for nearly 14 years and exemplifies that growth. Throughout her career, she’s explored a variety of roles across the company, from machine operator and paint line supervisor to fabrication supervisor, production planner, and now, materials leader.

“I never planned to be where I am today at Steffes, but the support, trust, respect, and understanding I’ve received are what have kept me here all these years,” Linda shared.

At Steffes, employees like Linda have access to a variety of development opportunities, including job-specific training academies, certifications, tuition reimbursement, professional seminars, and conferences, all designed to help them grow in their careers.

“I like to be challenged,’ Linda shared. “Once I started supervising, that’s when I felt the most challenged, which allowed me to empower my direct reports and allow them to grow in their positions too.”

Her advice to newcomers hoping to apply at Steffes: “Learn as much as you can and don’t be afraid to try things. There are a lot of zigzags here and there, but that’s how we know what we know.”
