Bernhard teams recently completed a crucial HVAC system upgrade at Truman School in Marrero, Louisiana. The upgrade included replacing three chillers and ten chilled water pumps, integrating new VFDs for pumps and modern chillers, addressing previous temperature control issues, and improving overall system performance. The improved HVAC system will provide a more comfortable and efficient learning environment for years to come. The upgrade was successfully implemented in two phases, strategically dividing the building to minimize disruption. We completed the major system shutdown and restart within two weeks after the school year ended on May 24. This project showcases our ability to execute complex renovations under tight time constraints while maintaining operational efficiency. #sustainability #energyefficiency

Our Electrical Apprenticeship Program recently began the 2024-2025 school year with 175 apprentices enrolled. To date, over 400 electricians have graduated from the program, contributing significantly to our community's economic growth. The program trains approximately 11% of Louisiana's registered non-union electrical apprentices annually. The Electrical Apprenticeship Program is a prime example of how Bernhard supports and shapes the next generation of leadership through comprehensive training, with a commitment to our core value of safety and minimizing risk. We give our apprentices the support and confidence they need to find their professional passions, make hard decisions, and propose bold ideas.

As I see more Green badges in my feed, I want to just put a link to Bernhard's Careers page and encourage anyone looking for a new career to take a quick look. The open positions are either at an office or remote, depending on the job requirements. The AEC industry is critical to the growth and economics of our communities and our country. There are always opportunities in the industry - from marketing to project management. You will be mentored and trained if you are a novice to the industry, whether it is construction, engineering, or architecture. We all have the wings to fly, we just need the confidence to take flight. I'm here for recommendations and references. #nowhiring #careers #engineering #businessdevelopment #bernhard #bernhardcareers #jobseekers

Since solidifying an Energy-as-a-Service partnership with LCMC Health, Bernhard teams have been working diligently on key deliverables for the first project phase. Bernhard’s 15-year EaaS partnership aims to address critical energy infrastructure upgrades at 6 LCMC Health facilities. Included in this effort is the construction of a new central utility plant, which recently reached a significant milestone. Our teams successfully lifted and installed cooling towers atop the new Central Energy Plant (CEP), marking the first major equipment lift for the project with the CEP reaching its final height. After overhead powerlines were de-energized, cooling towers were precisely positioned, setting the stage for the subsequent phases of this project. This project highlights our team's ability to tackle complex challenges while upholding our core value of safety. It also underscores the value of our Energy-as-a-Service model, which allows us to provide comprehensive, long-term energy solutions to our healthcare industry partners. #energy #healthcare

We did it! From June 13 to July 29, we visited all 21 Bernhard offices as part of our 2024 CEO Roadshow! 12 different states, 20+ hours of Q&A with our workforce, innumerable rental cars and Uber rides, and 1 beautiful hike in Utah—these are just a few statistics from an unforgettable 5-week journey across the (growing) Bernhard landscape. What a joy and honor it was to spend time face-to-face with the great people that make our organization hum and thrive—it has energized me in ways I did not think possible. A heartfelt thank you to all who played a role in organizing the tour—it was truly a logistical feat! And a special thanks to the 5 offices who saw fit to stock the office fridge ahead of time with my favorite guilty pleasure: a Diet Mountain Dew! I could not be more excited to lead this team as we write the next chapter of our company’s story. Onward and upward!

Bernhard teams recently supported Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport - MSY in taking a significant step towards operational excellence by completing a groundbreaking water softener project. This initiative marks a new era in the airport's infrastructure, promising enhanced efficiency and longevity for its water-dependent systems. The project required the major shutdown of the airport's entire domestic water system for the final equipment tie-in—a daunting task in a facility that never sleeps. Bernhard teams were able to complete this critical phase flawlessly and with remarkable speed, minimizing disruption to the airport's operations. This project is more than just an installation; it's a commitment to the future. The new water softening system plays a crucial role in extending the life of the airport's equipment, reducing maintenance costs, and improving overall operational efficiency. #sustainability

What an exciting announcement for the State of Utah! Congratulations to the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation and their 10-years of effort to get to this point! Special congratulations to Calum Clark COO and his teams at the Slide Track and Speed Skating Oval! Bernhard has been fortunate to be a small part of the renovation efforts over the past 4-years.

Jobsite walk with Business Unit Manager Jared Wilson as we scope out a mechanical project at a local charter school. Bernhard does have an amazing mechanical services team all across the United States. We are growing our mechanical footprint here in Utah - this includes maintenance, installation, and service. I'm excited to be on the front lines, helping with responses and pricing. #bernhard #mechanical #bernhardmcc #businessdevelopment

Bernhard recently announced the successful completion of the Midtown Lane Office project in Bentonville, Arkansas. Our commitment to innovative building solutions harmonizing artistic form with operational functionality is highlighted throughout the project. Bernhard teams were responsible for the Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection (MEPFP) design and construction administration, as well as the lighting design for the project. Our experts’ ability to refine the balance between artistic form and function positioned Bernhard to bring the Midtown Lane Office vision to life. Our team’s innovative approach ensured the building’s infrastructure was efficient and seamlessly integrated with its architectural design. #Engineering #design #sustainability Read More: https://lnkd.in/gK_AzUri
