How Did You Get Hired?

I've been with Power Design for over six years. I found out about the company while working for a regional electrical contractor in Sarasota, FL. I was looking for more stable employment and kept seeing Power Design trucks on large jobsites. I visited the website, applied for the foreman position and got the job. After a couple of years of training, I was promoted to project superintendent. About three years ago, Power Design relocated me to Houston to manage a multi-use, high-rise project in downtown. Now I'm working on my second project here!

Career Highlights

• Being an integral part of the planning process for new projects. I fly back to corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg, FL  to participate in job-start meetings, which entails reviewing project scope and scheduling, planning production requirements and meeting with the business development team to learn about the customer's expectations.
• Working as a team with the general contractor and the other trades to ensure successful jobsite coordination.
• Managing all aspects of work on the jobsite – labor, installation and scheduling coordination. I wouldn't be in this position today without good mentoring and a lot of training!
• Ensuring the job maintains the highest standards of quality that Power Design customers have come to know and expect.

What’s Your Career Path?

After I finish this project, I can move up to senior project manager.
