Jesus Cortez

Dilley Metal Recyclers is pleased to introduce the latest member of our team, Jesus Cortez,  Jesus comes to us from Brownwood, Texas, where he grew up and went to school. He has most recently been working as –among other things --an equipment operator for a large-scale tree farm and plant nursery.

But if his face looks familiar, it is probably because he is the grandson of Richard Silva, who grew up in the Devine, Texas area and worked for Dilley Metal Recyclers when it first opened in 2012. Richard has many skill sets but may be best known for his excavation expertise.  It was not uncommon for customers to remark that he could make any dirt work project “look like a park.” Richard is shown (right) in the picture with Carlos Villarreal, Sr.

Carlos, former owner of Eagle Oilfield Services, has logged in many hours on Dilley Metal Recyclers’ projects as both an equipment operator and welder.  His beautiful welding projects can be seen throughout the area in the form of ranch gates and many other specialty items including custom features on our new office,

Jesus, Richard and Carlos proved their mettle throughout the years, when they showed up to work in large scale disaster zones throughout the United States. These included the BP Oil Spill, Hurricane Harvey and the Flood in Louisianna (just to name a few). We are very proud of the strength of character and skill reflected in our crew! We hope you will come around to meet them.
