Hector Polanco
Superintendent
I keep the equipment ready, catch problems early, and make sure things get fixed the right way.
As superintendent for Royal Pavement Solutions, my primary responsibility is the maintenance and readiness of every piece of equipment our teams need to complete jobs efficiently and accurately. If a crew is only as good as its tools, then I ensure we have the best.
I’m very hands-on in how I do things. I’m constantly going through equipment, checking tires, looking for leaks, and trying to catch anything before it turns into a bigger issue.
I monitor for any recurring issues that may arise, tracking and correcting for maintenance trends, until permanent fixes are found and not just patched up. If I have the tools and it needs to get done, I always rise to the needs of the team.
Respect is what drives me to stay on top of things and make sure the equipment is where it needs to be and running the way it should so the crews can keep projects on schedule. I’m not the type to sit back. If the field needs help, I step in.
Outside of work, I still enjoy working with my hands, riding motorcycles, working on home improvements, learning new skills, and spending time with my family.
