Testimonials

Lee Rasmussen - Accounting Clerk

“I have worked at Petersen Inc. for 12 years and I love it. My favorite thing about the company is the people. I know that gets said a lot but I really do work with a great bunch! Petersen’s started as a family business and family is still a big part of the culture here. Management knows the importance of being able to be there for your family. There are programs in place to help employees when the unexpected happens and they need a little extra help. I also know that my efforts matter and are appreciated – and of course, the 4 – 10’s are marvelous!”

Jordan Davis - Fabricator

“When I first started at Petersen Inc. I was just 19 years old and had little to no experience. I knew Petersen was one of the best fabrication shops to learn and grow in. I started on a grinder as a helper and began to quickly learn from the experienced welders I work with. I took my first weld test after 6 months and continued to take tests as my experience grew. After five years of working at Petersen’s I have gained enough experience of fitting/welding from my peers, I am now building Nuclear parts for an international company.”

Raul Valenzuela - Estimating Technician

“Petersen Inc. has truly blessed me with a lifelong career that I would have never imagined. I started at Petersen Inc. as a nuclear pipe welder. Since then I was promoted to the estimating department. I’ve loved every minute here at Petersen Inc. Such an amazing atmosphere to work in! It’s great knowing that they really care for their employees. In such a short time they have truly helped me advance my career in both welding and estimating. I love knowing the company chooses to promote their team members from within and help them grow within the company. Petersen is really a great place to work with amazing employees and amazing opportunities!”

Paul Moore - Machinist

“I started at Petersen Inc. as a sweeper when I was 17 years old. After a while I wanted to earn more money and move up in the company. I was tasked with the cleaning and maintenance on welders. While doing so I was noticed by a supervisor and was offered a job as a machinist helper. While in this position my skills and capabilities skyrocketed. I became a metal working machine thanks to my superiors sharing knowledge and my confidence and will to succeed. Soon enough, I wanted to learn more, and Petersen Inc. sent me to school to become a machinist. Being a part of the Petersen family has created a work ethic within me that I didn’t even know I had.”
