Ryan Toth shares The Beck Group ’ s unique and collaborative approach to construction
When I was studying structural engineering at the University of South Florida in the late ‘ 90s , I didn ’ t realize how my interests and skills would actually lead me to a great career in the design and construction industry ,” begins Ryan Toth , Regional Director , Florida , The Beck Group . “ I was studying structural civil engineering , finishing my education and needed a part time job . In the engineering basement of the building , there was a sign posted for an office engineer intern . I was doing some part-time work on a drill rig at that point , which was a very dirty job , so I snatched up the flyer , interviewed with Beck and the rest , as they say , is history .”
Ryan ’ s career began in the field when he joined Beck as an intern in 1999 before graduating from the University of South Florida in 2000 with a degree in structural engineering . Since that time , he has had the opportunity to fill a multitude of jobs within the company before taking on his current role leading the Florida business in 2015 . He credits his mentors for giving him the chance to tackle large responsibilities early in his career , which challenged his abilities and pushed him to create strong , authentic teams that work together collaboratively .
