Oftedal Constructions Celebrates 50 Years

The company celebrated the first of two 50 year anniversary events on September 25 , 2014. Approximately 100 employees (present & retired), past and present business partners, vendors and friends gathered at the Miles City shop for the historic event.

The event was highlighted by Bill O. circulating through the crowd of 100 plus attendees and singling out the company’s very first business partners who graciously shared their experiences of helping Ed and Bill work through the many challenges associated with beginning and sustaining the company. People enjoyed mingling and looking at the 50th employ collage, awards table, a vintage company slide show from the 1960’s-1970’s, a second slide show from the 1980’s – present and a map showing most company projects completed since 1964.

Underscored by the Alliant Build America Award, we received this March at the Associated General Contractors of Americas conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, two tables showcased the many industry and safety awards the company has earned over the last five decades.

Thirty year employee Helen Killen greets event guests. For the better part of her 30 years, Helen managed payroll, employee benefits and all matters associated with these areas. Her three decades of dedication and devotion to the company is an example to all. Thank you Helen for 30 distinguished years!
