Evan George

Elizabeth Dock Employee

Evan was presented his Employee of the Month Certificate and Pin along with a $1,000 bonus. 

Congratulations Evan!  Great Job !

He has been nominated in the past. As all the dock guys do which most folks don’t know, as we are sitting home enjoying life and also the holidays these guys are here working on barges and pipelines and tank gauging ect. in “all” kinds of weather. In fact they just worked New Year’s Eve and Day starting with the EOM (end of the month) Tank gauging which has to be done for inventory and the tanks must be climbed and physical measured and temperatures of the product are taken, and then followed by a large pipeline.  Of course in the pouring rain.  Evan basically is the man in charge of setting all this up, (once he gets a schedule from Dennis), and making sure everything is done safely and correctly. Plus he still helps with the lube oils and takes charge when setting up snow removal schedules when needed ect. I think strong consideration should be taken when you make your decision especially since Evan and all these guys are not out in the spotlight where they can be seen like everyone else, they are here behind the scenes’ getting it done every time they are needed to do so and Evan makes that happen…”Mike Estelle”.
