Rogers Group Inc.

Meet Nick, our Night Shift Lead Man. Nick keeps the plant running smoothly for the day shift and has been with RGI since May 2022. He came to us after 16 years of pouring concrete, looking for a career—not just a job. From his first interview, he knew RGI was the place for him. His only regret? Not finding RGI 20 years ago. We’re lucky to have him on the team! #WHYRGI

As Women in Construction Week comes to a close, we want to show our appreciation for the strong, inspiring women who help make up Rogers Group. Thank you for all you do! 👷♀️#WICWeek #WomenInConstruction #RGIPride

Here’s a sneak peek at how we spent our Friday at the Nashville office! 🎉 We had an incredible time with our friend, Ben Linderman, capturing the faces behind the scenes who help keep everything running smoothly. While our aggregate, construction, and trucking teams are the backbone in the field, these corporate employees are the vital support system that keeps it all connected. Today was full of big smiles, loud laughs, and tons of fun! Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes moments from today's shoot! #RGIPRIDE

Meet Tyler, a man of many roles here at Rogers Group. From working as a groundsman to assisting with maintenance and exploring a lead position, Tyler plays a key role in keeping the plant running smoothly. He joined us on October 14, 2023, after previously working for another company. When asked why he made the switch, he said, “People talk—I heard there were great opportunities for growth and a positive work environment at Rogers Group.” And according to Tyler, RGI has lived up to its reputation! “You can’t ask for anything better,” he added. Oh, and he enjoys crushing rock, too! #WHYRGI

🔴📰⚪️ We don’t take a trip down memory lane too often, but it’s important to honor those who came before us—hardworking individuals who laid the foundation for the success we enjoy today. These photos of our Princeton location offer a glimpse into that history. If you look closely, you’ll spot some unconventional hauling equipment in action! Before trucks took over, mules and horses played a vital role at Rogers, pulling carts loaded with stone up from the quarries. 🐴

💪🏼🚜 At Rogers Group, hard work is the foundation of everything we do. From quarrying aggregates to paving roads that connect communities, our team is dedicated to building a stronger, safer tomorrow. It’s not just about the work—it’s about the impact we leave behind. #BuiltToLast #Aggregates #BuildingCommunitiesFromTheGroundUp
