    Kevin R. Lytle, Jr.

    Job Title: Electrical Foreman

    Company: Allfab Group, LLC

    Location: LaVista, Neb.

    Age: 27

    Years on the Job: 12

    Interests: Being with his wife and daughter, reloading ammunition, and anything hunting or gun-related

    A native of Omaha, Neb., he went straight into an electrical apprenticeship with on-the-job training immediately following high-school graduation.

    “The training helped me to be able to teach others about the trade and work,” he said. “Every day it seems like I learn something new.”

    In his role as a foreman, his day starts by reviewing expectations of work to be done for the day or for the week with his crew. He also answers questions, orders material for the week ahead, or plans out prefab. He’s responsible for material and fixture ordering, job-site meetings, trade coordination, and management — and his favorite part of his job are the challenges.

    “I like a challenge to overcome or a hard project, because after it’s finished, it’s nice to say, ‘I did that,’” he said. “The most challenging parts would be organization or flow of work. Just when you think you are all set and organized with a plan, something usually goes not as planned. This is where the problem solving comes in.”

    He is currently managing a crew on a school remodel and addition and is also assisting a foreman on his four-story apartment complex. While working in the field, he said technology can help to improve efficiency.

    “Some people use paper plans, but I prefer to use my iPad and have all the plans on that for marking up and saving,” he said. “I help with new software additions and try to simplify certain things.”
