New Hire: Jim Whitesell

Whitesell started as our Project Manager/Estimator for our Scaffolding Division on May 8, 2023. Whitesell is originally from Alaska, but he moved to Evansville for the warmer weather and the opportunity to work for Gribbins. He is excited to be on the front lines of new growth. His favorite part of the job is traveling to different places. Whitesell has spent 18 years scaffolding, coating, and insulating in the oil fields of the Alaskan Arctic. Over the last 4 years, he has been managing different projects out West. When asked what inspires him the most, Whitesell said, “Seeing people build something from nothing.” In his free time, he enjoys exploring, sailing, diving, and gold mining.
