Therefore, reflecting on the success we are having in Illinois, we have pulled the trigger in Central Missouri. We are following the same philosophy as the Illinois office; hire local management and field staff and let them drive the business.\"<br /> <br />Headquartered in Fenton, MO, Kaiser Electric expanded its operations in 2008 across the Mississippi River into Granite City, IL.<br /> <br />Russell was hired to oversee the day to day operations of the Central Missouri division, which includes estimating and managing projects. He has more than 10 years of industry experience, having previously worked as a project manager and general foreman.<br /> <br />\"Jason has worked his entire career in the Central Missouri market, so he obviously understands its intricacies,\" Giacin said. \"He will have the full weight of Kaiser Electric\'s resources behind him. We are presently securing work and field staff for this market.\"</p>";s:10:"category_0";s:1:"6";}
