Starting at the bottom, Le served as a helper, carpenter, operator, surveyor and foreman under the guidance of a number of Mason's top supervisors. Gaining experience and expertise, he advanced to the positions of job superintendent, QA/QC inspector and project manager. From 2005 to 2008, Le managed a $12,000,0000 project while Mason served as chief civil contractor for BASF/Sabina Petrochemicals in Port Arthur, TX. The project involved peak manpower of 100 and included 200 individual projects within the 2.5-year span. Learning the business from all aspects has been instrumental in developing Le's close relationships with the craftsmen and management leaders of the company, its clients and fellow contractors.
