New Hire: Steve Arvelo

Steve started as our Quality Controls Coordinator on June 3, 2025. Steve was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Miami, Florida. He studied Criminal Justice at Kaplan University, choosing online classes so he could balance school with his long work hours. Steve got into traveling jobs, working across most of the East Coast from Florida up to Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as in parts of the West (Utah, North and South Dakota) and Central U.S. After years on the road, he decided to try staying local for a change. Steve is most excited about the opportunity for both personal and professional growth at Gribbins, and he appreciates the laid-back, upbeat attitude of the team — finding it motivating to be surrounded by such positive energy. Before joining Gribbins, Steve worked in the construction field, primarily in scaffolding and as a millwright/AOV Tech. He also gained hands-on experience with insulation, pipefitting, and rigging across a wide range of job sites. His background in soft crafts, turnarounds, exchangers, and towers—as well as Lock Out/Tag Out procedures—has built a solid foundation for his role as QC Coordinator. Steve is now looking to grow further by gaining more experience in coordinating and planning/scheduling, and he’s excited to bring his field knowledge into this next chapter. When asked what/who inspires him the most, Steve said, “My desire for growth and influential figures such as Kevin Trudeau, Ed Foreman, and Jim Rohn—but most of all, my six-year-old son, whose confidence, positivity, and joy for life remind me to stay motivated and keep a positive outlook every day.” Outside of work, he enjoys playing guitar, working out, and building relationships.
