Ep.59: Corey Krueger, Vice President at WCL Group, Working With Family, and Leading the Next Chapter

Corey Krueger joins Cesar Jimenez to share his journey from early career roles in marketing and customer service to becoming Vice President at WCL Group. He reflects on joining the family business, navigating the pressure that comes with earning your place, and helping grow the company through one of the most uncertain periods in recent memory.

Corey shares how a business development plan he built on his own became a key part of WCL’s growth story, and why patience, consistency, and authentic relationships still matter more than shortcuts. He also breaks down what makes staffing so challenging, how trust is built with both clients and contractors, and why long term persistence often creates the biggest wins.

The conversation also explores the future of energy staffing, including oil and gas, renewables, data centers, and semiconductor construction. Corey explains why relationship driven leadership, strong networks, and genuine care for people continue to be the foundation for success, especially in a fast changing market.
