Jess Knippenberg

3rd Year Pipefitter Apprentice

“At Helm, I think the environment and the atmosphere is a huge benefit. I couldn’t be more grateful for being able to work with the people that I’ve worked with and just how knowledgeable they are, how kind they are, how patient they are, especially being an apprentice, how willing they are to teach somebody who’s wanting to learn.

The culture at Helm is very family-like and I think most everybody is not afraid to just be themselves.”

Musahib Ali

Project Manager

“Once you’re on site, you realize it’s a completely different experience than being in the office. Every project brings together people from different backgrounds, and no two days are the same—you’re constantly coordinating with teams across the job, especially during commissioning, to keep everything moving forward.

The culture at Helm is very team-oriented. Everyone knows their role, supports each other, and works together to get the job done. You’re not just checking boxes. You’re learning something new every day, and that’s what makes the work rewarding.”

Lauren Lurquin

Project Executive

“The most rewarding part about what I do here at Helm is seeing the light bulbs go off in the people that I’m training. So, I’m always working on getting them to the next level of their career.

I’m not someone who can do the same thing every single day, minute after minute, clock-in, clock-out type of person. I like a new challenge every day. I like the antsy-ness of trying to figure something out in a timely manner, teaching people while still helping the company.”
