students learning how to install a fire hydrant

By Pete Cisneros

David Dellinger and Brad Riechenberger, from Dondlinger Construct visited the EHS Carpentry class on Nov. 12, 2025, and talked about opportunities the students have to come to work for their company.  They shared with the class the jobs that their company offers for students. They informed them that Dondlinger looks for all kinds of employees from right out of high school to the students who have chosen to get a degree from a University.

Dondlinger is a local company that works mainly in the Wichita area and has had a hand in building commercial structures like Exploration Place. They finished up the visit with a hands-on demonstration of a Fire Hydrant installation by the General Superintendent of Underground Utilities Division, Brad Riechenberger.
