Background

Steve Ingersoll is a career labor leader who served as President of Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 (IUOE Local 3) before retiring in March 2024. According to a proclamation issued by Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo on July 16, 2024 (designating July 20, 2024 as "A Day in Honor of Steve Ingersoll"), he had been a member of Local 3 for 35 years and a member of the union staff for 27 years, 11 of which were in leadership positions culminating in his tenure as President.

His documented career progression within Local 3 moved through the union's elected offices: records and the union's own *Engineers News* publication show him serving as Treasurer (2014), Financial Secretary, and Vice President (the February 2018 *Engineers News* masthead lists Dan Reding as President and Steve Ingersoll as Vice President), before he rose to President around 2019–2020 and served in that role until his 2024 retirement. His education includes the Harvard Trade Union Program, a well-known executive program for labor leaders.

Operating Engineers Local 3 is the largest construction trades local union in the United States, representing roughly 37,000–40,000+ members across a four-state jurisdiction covering California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. Its membership includes heavy-equipment operators, mechanics, surveyors, construction inspectors, highway maintenance workers, and various public employees. As President, Ingersoll was one of the union's senior elected officers, working alongside the Business Manager on governance, member representation, and collective bargaining across that jurisdiction.
