Welcoming Jordan Payne as VP & In-House Engineer/Project Manager 

We are proud to announce that Jordan Payne has officially joined A American Container full-time as our new Vice President and In-House Engineer/Project Manager. 

Jordan is not new to our team—he has been assisting on projects over the last year. As of August 2025, he is officially stepping into a leadership role that allows A American Container to take on more hands-on, customizable projects on-site, strengthening the way we serve our customers. 

A graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Structural Engineering (Class of 2022), Jordan brings valuable experience from his years working in Philadelphia. His engineering career there focused on rowhomes, commercial developments, and retention walls, giving him a strong technical foundation that now supports our expanding capabilities in the container industry. 

Having Jordan in-house is an exciting milestone for A American Container. By bringing engineering and project management under one roof, we can ensure that every stage of the process is handled with greater efficiency, precision, and attention to detail. This streamlined approach allows us to deliver a more seamless experience to our customers, from concept to completion. 

“We are excited to have the next generation step into leadership and be part of our ever-expanding niche field of containers.” — Angie Payne, CEO of A American Container 

Outside of his engineering expertise, Jordan is known for his dedication and discipline as an athlete. He has completed the Boston Marathon twice, earned a 3rd-place finish at the Philadelphia Marathon, and is now preparing to take on the Berlin Marathon. His perseverance on the racecourse reflects the same qualities he brings to his professional work. 

Though he has lived in Philadelphia for the past five years, Jordan is born and raised in Tampa, Florida, and is excited to return home as he takes on this new role. 

“I’m thrilled to return to Tampa and lead A American Container’s next chapter. This role gives me the chance to bring engineering and project management directly to our clients’ needs, and I couldn’t be more excited.” — Jordan Payne, VP of A American Container 

We’re thrilled to welcome Jordan as both Vice President and a full-time member of our in-house staff. His leadership, expertise, and energy will help us continue to innovate and deliver exceptional, customized solutions for our clients. 

Please join us in celebrating Jordan’s official move into this exciting new role!
