News, Dunn County
Starting a new job can be a daunting task, which is why having someone to help navigate the tasks and expectations involved can be helpful. At Quality Roofing in Marshfield, Steve Lopez has undertaken the role of mentor to many new hires.
Now with the official title of Translator/Foreman/Trainer, Lopez entered the roofing business at 40 years old after years working in store management positions. When he was laid off during the pandemic, his brother recommended applying at Quality.
Prior to working at Quality, Lopez — who is terrified of heights — wouldn’t even climb ladders to clean his garage gutters. On his first day on the job, he had to climb 15 stories to work on the UW-Madison Chemistry building.
