Providence Homes<\/a>\u00a0(where Junker is now the President and COO). A few months later, Roberts joined him.<\/p>\n\u201cI liked the idea of working for a smaller, locally owned company that was growing rapidly at the time,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cSean and a few other people I worked with came to Providence at around the same time. We all worked well together and it made sense for me to come to Providence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI loved the people and the growth opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, all but one of five people who joined in 2001 still work for Providence Homes.<\/p>\n
Roberts started at Providence as the Purchasing Manager and developed the procurement, estimating and design departments. He also spearheaded the implementation of the company\u2019s management software. After a few years and rapid company growth, the leadership Providence needed to develop and document the company processes and procedures to better serve customers and be more efficient, so Roberts took on the role of Director of Operational Processes and Procedures and stayed in this role for a little over a year. He then moved into his current role as Vice President of Operations in 2007.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we have grown over the past two decades, Charles, obviously, has been a huge part of that growth and success,\u201d said Junker. \u201cHis commitment to our mission of providing the best service and experience for our customers is evident in everything he does. In 20 years, he has risen to every challenge and change in the market to keep Providence moving forward and building the best homes possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Roberts, it\u2019s been the people that have kept him at Providence for two decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve practically grown up with many of the people here and Providence is family,\u201d he said. \u201cI love the culture of continuous improvement that we have here. Everybody here cares about our customers and each other, and everyone tries to get a little better at what they do every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his role, he gets the most satisfaction out of making sure everyone on the team has the tools and support to do their jobs to the best of their ability. \u201cI love helping people succeed,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI feel that my number-one job is to help everyone in our company be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Roberts also appreciates the opportunity to overcome the challenges that the changing construction industry has presented in his 20 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cDelivering on our company mission hasn\u2019t changed in two decades,\u201d he said. \u201cOur homes are much more complex than they were 20 years ago, but our customers still deserve the very best from us. How we achieve the best has changed and I\u2019m proud of the fact that we have stayed on top of the changes and can deliver great homes that customers are happy with.\u201d<\/p>\n
When not working, Roberts spends time with his wife, Amy, family and friends and is active in St. Luke Catholic Church in Middleburg, where he leads the Confirmation program. His high school-aged kids, Chris and Katelyn, followed in his footsteps and are active in sports; he enjoys going to their events and supporting their endeavors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
