“My name is Carey Allen. I am the Laboratory Supervisor in Meridian, Idaho. My role is in inspection and testing of construction materials. The inspection part is very important for public safety. Everything about Horrocks is [...] it's all of what I expected to find in a company. And it's all wrapped up into one: it's family, it's an important job for the public, and it's working with a great group of people. My favorite part is just seeing a project from start to finish and watching it grow and being a part of the hard work that everyone does that goes into a particular project... and then seeing it come to completion.”
