Paul Rendon Receives Quanta Commitment Coin

Congratulations to Paul Rendon, Technical Foreman in Irby’s Texas Region, for receiving the Quanta Commitment Coin for his exceptional efforts on the job!

Paul recounts a recent Friday morning: “As I was heading from the Llano yard to the ROW through Thunderhill Ranch, I saw a man lying on the ground screaming for help. He had rolled his side-by-side vehicle and had been there for three hours. I called 911 and stayed with him until the ambulance arrived. The paramedics determined he had a broken ankle and thumb and called for a life flight to the hospital. I wish him a full recovery.”

Thank you, Paul, for being a dedicated and caring employee, both on the job and in the community. It’s people like you who make Irby a great place to work!
