Why do you love working in the construction industry?

The people! Construction is challenging. I love working with our teams and using technology to build and communicate more effectively.


What topics and trends are you most passionate about in the industry?

Leveraging data to make more informed, quicker decisions. I’m passionate about our drive to use data to continuously improve our processes . For example, we’re using data to spot project and subcontractor performance issues before they impact time and budget.

We need you! You’re bringing a wave of new technology. Your methods will be different than previous generations and we need that perspective and technology forward skillset to continue the momentum to build smarter.
