Background

About Scott Frederic

I'm from Colorado Springs, CO, and I love working in the construction industry! My first full-time job out of high school was in underground utilities and excavation, where I spent almost two years installing the sewer, water, and storm drainage systems for new neighborhoods, schools, and apartments. I loved the satisfaction of seeing our work completed and signed off. I've been chasing that satisfaction ever since! When I came to BYU-Idaho, I eventually realized that I wanted to get that feeling in the construction industry. I changed my major and took jobs in the construction field while getting my degree. I interned twice for HHI Corporation during my college years, and loved every minute of working for them. As I came to the end of my college years, I competed in the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Competition in 2023 and 2024 as a scheduler, and then Project Manager in the Project Management category from DPR Construction. I found a great deal of satisfaction and challenge in those competitions, and developed my skills further by creating a scheduling skills workshop to teach my fellow students about scheduling in the industry and preparing them for the competition. I love learning new things about this industry and about the business of creating useful, comfortable, and beautiful buildings for people to enjoy. My life-long goal is to eventually create a business or manage an outreach program with the goal to create affordable housing, create jobs, and improve the economy in impoverished locations around the globe. I want to give other people the opportunities and advantages that I have enjoyed, and continue to make a difference in the lives of others.
