F.H. Paschen Announces Two Promotions

F.H. Paschen kicked off 2022 by announcing the promotions of Bill Rocha and Wayne Thompson.

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Bill Rocha to Vice President. Bill’s career began at F.H. Paschen following his internship over 15 years ago. Over the years, Bill worked diligently to earn promotions from Project Engineer to Project Manager, to Senior Project Manager, and most recently a General Manager. His ascension through the organization is a testament to Bill’s ability to lead and develop and his persistent execution of a forward-thinking vision. Congratulations Bill!

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Wayne Thompson to Vice President. Wayne was hired out of Tuskegee University as a Project Engineer in our Miami Office in 2007. His rise through the organization from Project Engineer to most recently as General Manager speaks to Wayne’s culture-defining leadership, operational savviness, and dedication to excellence. Congratulations Wayne!

Both Bill and Wayne have been essential to the rapid growth of our Mid-Atlantic and Southeast offices. F.H. Paschen is grateful for their leadership and the hard work and dedication from the project teams, administrative, and support staff in the regional offices.

Last week marked the end of this year’s summer internship program. Our interns were spread across the company, filling various roles in our Estimating, Building, Civil, and PPG divisions.

Many of our interns had the opportunity to work on active job sites including 41st Street Pedestrian Bridge, 95th Street Terminal Improvement Project, O’Hare Runway 9C-27C Bid Package #1, American Airlines GEM Facility, and many more.

Last Friday, our interns gave their final presentations on their summer internship experience. Interns from our offices in Atlanta, GA and Washington, D.C. were flown in to create a collaborative presentation experience in which our interns spoke directly to our executives.

As a part of their final presentation, the interns nominated an employee for a ‘More Paschen’ award. The employees weren’t limited to a specific title, but were individuals who went out of their way to make an impact on our intern’s summer and made a lasting impression on their experience.

We received incredible feedback from our interns! Our industry’s future is bright with talented and innovative minds – we were truly fortunate to have such an excellent group of individuals.

We are wishing our interns a successful school year!

More Opportunity. More Paschen.

Our interns come from all over the nation, studying at schools including Villanova University, Purdue University, Illinois State University, Howard University, Miami University (Ohio), Michigan State University, Iowa State University, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Milwaukee School of Engineering, Eastern Illinois University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Valparaiso University, University of Alabama, George Mason University, California College of the Arts, and Notre Dame University.
