Interviewing At Luck

 

We want to ensure you’re a great fit with Luck Companies through our 3 Step interview process.

Luck Companies Talent Acquisition process is designed to keep applicants connected to their application process, values the time candidates invest in applying, and provides tools that ensure alignment for both the applicant and the company – we believe that when you work at a company that matches your core values you are happier and more successful.

Our interview process first includes an online Culture Fit Assessment designed to create an opportunity for applicants to share the things they value and allow Luck Companies to understand an applicant’s core values.  This helps us determine if potential candidates will be successful and fulfilled in a values-based working environment.

 

The Culture Fit Assessment is based on a benchmark created by a cross section of Luck associates, recognizing that we all have similar core values, though they may vary from person to person in priority.

After the Culture Fit Assessment is completed, if a candidate’s results align with our core values and the candidate demonstrates the necessary position requirements, a 3-Step interview process will be administered.

 

All applicants are asked to apply online, if possible.  Those needing assistance may contact HR at 804-784-8264.

    1. Why do you work for Luck Companies?

    “With a mining engineering degree, I could go practically anywhere in the world and find a job, but I work for Luck Companies because of the intangibles.  Luck gives me a chance to do work that I like, grow personally, help out the community I grew up in and have a good time doing it.”

    2. Describe your career path with the company and why it’s worked so well for you.

    “I started with Luck during a Co-Op in the Mining Engineering group when I was still at Virginia Tech.  That time helped me figure out that mining was something that I wanted to do as a career and decide that Luck was where I wanted to be.  When I started full time, I spent a year in training at the Fairfax plant learning the ropes of operations.  I drove the equipment, ran the plants, blasted and did pretty much every job at the site, or at least got a taste of it.  It was a very intense training program but the payoff is huge.  Now that I’m back in the office doing more design work, I am enjoying the new challenges.  I think everything has gone so well this far because I like variety, and I have been involved with new things practically every day since I started.”

    3. Give us one piece of advice for being successful with Luck Companies.

    “I think that a successful person with Luck is excited by challenges.  You have to enjoy tackling obstacles or you aren’t going to enjoy working for Luck.”

    2. Describe your career path with the company and why it’s worked so well for you. 

    “I started out as a consultant in the Charles Luck Richmond Studio.  I was impressed that the company hired me 6 months before the flagship Studio was scheduled to open to the public.  During that 6 month period, I was trained thoroughly in many areas – contractor sales, quarry processes, fabrication workshop production, etc.  This training period allowed me to get a clear vision of the company as a whole, not just of the Charles Luck division.  Within 2 years in this role, I was promoted to manager of the Richmond Studio.”

    3. Give us one piece of advice for being successful with Luck Companies. 

    “Have a strong sense of integrity and commitment, be driven, and get ready to love where you work!”

    4. Tell us something cool about yourself – on a personal note.

I started off as a blaster at our Powhatan location.  At that time the company was wide open and I was excited to be a part that.  I then became a foreman trainee and transferred to Burkeville, which was a learning experience in itself.  After spending some time there, Rockville became my home for a short time.  I then became a foreman at our Burkeville location for almost 5 years.  Now, I am currently the LSOS Regional Manager for the Southern Region.  During my time here at Luck Companies I have seen this company rolling out the rock as well as trying to figure out what we will do next.  We were strong then and continue to be.  Being challenged and meeting your goals makes you feel good about what you’ve accomplished.”

    3. What advice do you have for being successful at Luck Companies?

    “Bring your best every day, and if you don’t have the answer, just ask someone who does.”

    4. Tell us something cool about yourself – on a personal note.

    “I started with the Charles Luck Stone Center as an Assistant Operations Manager, where I gained experience and knowledge in all operational facets of the business; material sourcing, quality control, safety standards, equipment maintenance, order fulfillment, logistics, etc.  From there, I transitioned to the Sales Manager role, where I became involved in improving our sales culture and building lasting relationships with customers.  By learning the intricacies of both sides of the business, I was well prepared to move into a Site Operations Manager role when it became available.”

    3. What advice do you have for being successful at Luck Companies?

    “Lead with your values.  The core values of the organization (Leadership, Integrity, Creativity and Commitment) are the foundations of Values Based Leadership, and will serve you well if you embrace them.”

    “My career at Luck Companies began through the buyout of Lee Tennis Court Products where I began as a receptionist, moved in to the Website, Inside Sales Manager, then became more of a special projects kind of person, going and doing whatever the company needed me to do.  When an ERP system was needed I was asked to lead the project team and from there I moved in to administering the system and remained in that position until recently the opportunity arose for me to put my leadership skills that I’d been taught over the past several years to the test by taking a temporary leadership role at our New Jersey location.  I’ve always wanted the opportunity to actually lead a part of an organization and now I am.”

Onboarding

 

However experienced you are, the first days, weeks and months in a new working environment are always full of challenges, excitement, new relationships and probably a bit of nerves and uncertainty. You will probably feel excited, enthusiastic – and rather nervous, too. At Luck Companies we understand that the first year of a new job is critical to an associate’s success.

For this reason we create opportunities for new associates to learn our culture, understand the expectations of their specific roles, and embrace our mission and values. By investing in and committing to effective training at all levels, we build competence and confidence in our associates, thus enabling us to sustain a competitive advantage and make a lasting impact on others. Every associate is unique in terms of their experience, background and career path and so we offer a combination of hands-on, classroom and one-on-one training and coaching experiences.  Each learning opportunity is individualized to meet the needs of the associate, the role and the business.  If hired, this is an active engagement between the associate and their managers.
