For Project Manager Kayla Fruth, no two days in construction services are the same, and that’s exactly what she loves about her work. From overseeing water tower construction to collaborating with residents and city staff, she thrives on solving problems that directly impact people’s lives. “What we build might be underground, but its impact is visible every day,” she says. “That’s what makes this work so meaningful.”
At Bollig Engineering, Kayla found more than a job; she found a place where her skills, values, and community roots all come together.
A Career That Connects People and Purpose
Kayla’s path to engineering leadership didn’t start in an office. She began in the well industry, drilling, testing, and managing laboratory teams. Those hands-on experiences taught her the value of teamwork, precision, and accountability. These qualities now shape how she leads construction projects for small cities across Minnesota.
When she joined Bollig, she discovered a company that not only valued her technical expertise but also shared her sense of purpose. “I was drawn to Bollig because of their mission to help small cities,” she says. “That really resonated with me, it’s where I’m from, and it’s why I do what I do.”
That connection to community is what drives so many Bollig team members – a belief that engineering is more than design; it’s a way to strengthen local economies, protect natural resources, and improve daily life.
A Team That Builds More Than Infrastructure
At Bollig, collaboration runs deep. Whether in the field, in the office, or meeting with city leaders, communication and teamwork keep every project moving in the right direction. Kayla appreciates how teamwork extends beyond projects. “Bollig is close-knit and family-oriented,” she says. “Everyone supports one another… whether it’s helping troubleshoot a design detail, jumping in on a community event, or making sure people can balance work and family.”
That sense of belonging and shared purpose is why so many employees stay and grow their careers here. Opportunities come with mentorship, autonomy, and trust, and new ideas are encouraged from every level of the company.
Empowering Growth and Leadership
Leadership at Bollig Engineering isn’t about titles; it’s about taking initiative, supporting others, and striving for continuous improvement. Kayla’s career growth reflects that philosophy. From leading field crews to managing city-wide infrastructure projects, she’s had opportunities to learn, lead, and make a measurable difference. “Bollig gives you the tools and trust to succeed,” Kayla says. “They see your potential and help you grow into it.”
That spirit of growth is rooted in Bollig Engineering’s core values: Neighbors Serving Neighbors, Teamwork, Relationships, y Continuous Improvement. It’s what makes every project and every role personal.
Building a Career That Matters
For Kayla, and for many others at Bollig Engineering, the reward comes from seeing progress unfold in the small cities they serve. “Every project tells a story,” she says. “It’s about working together to build something that lasts, not just for today, but for generations.”
Whether you’re just starting your career or looking for a new challenge, Bollig offers the chance to do work that truly matters alongside people who care deeply about their craft and their communities.
