Pauline Bolling, Secretary-Treasurer
pbolling@structuralsteelco.com

Pauline became Co-founder of Structural Steel Company along with her husband Ernest in 1956.  He had a vision and she stood beside him to make it become their vision.  She did whatever task was needed to see that the job was done without complaint.  Thanks to her hard work and sacrifice they built this Company from its humble beginnings into the respected and financially strong Company it is today.  She has been so successful in part due to her recognition of the role her employees play in that success.  Pauline and Ernest always considered their employees as part of an extended family.  They strived to provide safe working conditions, good pay, and benefits that are rarely seen in small companies.  After the death of Ernest in 1990 she returned to the place where they worked side by side for over 30 years and continued to keep that vision alive.  She has earned the respect of all her employees and will always be fondly thought of as “Mom”.  In 1998 she went into semi-retirement after knee replacement surgery, but remains and integral part of day to day operations today.

Richard Jamison, President

Dick began his career in the Steel industry in 1963 as a Detailer for Peerless Drafting.  He later went to Roanoke Iron and Bridge where he worked his way up from Drafting to Project Manager to Sales.  He joined the Structural Steel team in May 1985 as Project Manger where he quickly earned the trust of Ernest Bolling, the founder of the company, by demonstrating his ability to solve problems properly and efficiently.  He was made Vice President in 1989 when Ernest was diagnosed with cancer.  He rose to that challenge and provided a seamless transition through this sad time and into the years that followed.  In 2006 as the Company approached its 50^th Anniversary Dick was promoted to President as he continued to oversee the operations of the Company.  He has earned the respect of his employees and the Contractors he works with by being a man of integrity and carrying on the Bolling’s tradition of doing what it takes to do the job right.  He has truly earned his title as “Man of Steel” during his distinguished 45 year journey.
