As the newest member of our team, we sat down with Anna to learn more about her.
What first peaked your interest in the construction industry?
When choosing what route to go post college, it was a slam dunk to choose the project management route in construction over the design or research industries. The different mediums that construction gives to problem solve, plan and manage is like no other. The engineering and business worlds are brought together in such an exciting way in construction.
What excites you about the industry?
Every day brings the opportunity for growth and learning something new. No day or situation is ever the same, even if you are building the exact same building twice! Learning opportunities are never ending.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?
In 5 years, I hope to be more of a well-rounded, successful project manager which includes getting a variety of delivery methods and project sizes under my belt. In 10, years I hope to have spent enough time on the project management, estimating and job pursuing side of this company to know which sector I can best contribute at a higher level with C/S.
What skills and/or tricks of the trade have you learned that have helped you grow in your career in Project Management?
To always be firm but fair with every negotiation/transaction/deal you are a part. Relationships are arguably the most important aspect to our industry and should last beyond the topic at hand.
