Plateau People – James Odham, Foreman

With a strong foundation built on people, quality craftsmanship, and innovation, Plateau Excavation has become a leader in tackling advanced, large-scale and complex site development projects, but it is our people that truly make the difference and have moved the company forward.

• How many years have you been at Plateau Excavation? 6 years
• What’s your job title? Foreman
• What exactly do you do at the company? I’d say I am a support role. I make sure all the guys are doing what they are supposed to do, help out the superintendents, and fill in when I need to.
• So far, what has been your favorite project? Gallatin, Tennessee, has been my favorite – with all the rock and dirt we had to move.
• How would you describe your team or the people you work with? Our guys work very well together. I could put our guys on any job, and we’d be successful.
• If you could be any machine, what would you be? I would be a Trackhoe. I like seeing a lot of dirt move.
