HOLT CAT

April is National Welding Month, and here at HOLT CAT, we’re proud to celebrate our entire team of skilled welders who keep us moving forward! Today, we’d like to introduce you to Gabrielle McDonald, a Welder II & Line Bore Technician, whose dedication and expertise make a lasting impact. With eight and a half years of welding experience and three years in line boring, Gabrielle’s journey started at just 16 years old, learning hands-on skills from her dad. She refined her craft in high school, where she discovered her passion for welding, setting the foundation for her career. For Gabrielle, the best part of the job is continuous growth—whether it’s perfecting welding techniques, tackling complex repairs, or assembling engines, she thrives in an environment that values skill development and teamwork. What’s one of the most important skills for success in welding? The ability to take and receive constructive criticism. Growth comes from being open to feedback, adapting to challenges, and problem-solving under pressure. Gabrielle is a testament to resilience and passion in the welding industry, and we’re honored to have her on our team. Join us in celebrating Gabrielle and all the welders who keep our industry moving forward! ???? #HOLTCAT #NationalWeldingMonth #LetsDoTheWork #IAmHOLT

After more than 20 years in retail management, Allison Craig made a bold move. When the COVID-19 pandemic led to a furlough, she reassessed her path and decided to pursue a career in an essential, always-operational industry. With her husband’s decades-long experience at Caterpillar dealers and a firsthand understanding of the opportunities available, she chose to step into the world of construction—and hasn’t looked back. Now a Technology Solutions Specialist here at HOLT CAT, Allison has spent the last four years embracing challenges, learning continuously, and building strong relationships across teams. She credits several mentors with helping shape her journey—from developing soft skills to navigating the technical aspects of the role. “Working in retail for so many years and now working in a totally different industry here at HOLT made me realize that I, too, could pursue my passions and excel in any career path,” Allison shared. She brings strategic thinking, problem-solving, and a commitment to inclusion into everything she does. Her story is a powerful reminder that skills are transferable—and success comes to those willing to take the leap. #HOLTCAT #IAmHOLT #EmployeeSpotlight
