project manager

I had a great experience working here as a project engineer. The support and training was great and I really delved into the electrical contracting scope. However once I moved into more of a coordinator role at the corporate office it was less of a chance to make my work my own and more of “you do things my way because that’s how they’ve been done…”  so upper management is really dissociated from their project teams and I felt like I never got to know the president of the company. Very corporate feel where there had to be a policy and rule for everything. They also decided that two months before my planned maternity leave was a good time to lay me off with no severance or extended health insurance. Also the pay is not competitive, they did not keep up with inflation on salaries from Covid impacts but did give good bonuses. There was room to grow your skills if you showed initiative but unfortunately they completely over load their director of operations which impacted other departments like the position I had (which was supposed to take work of their plate). If you stayed in the typical PE to APM and PM route it would probably be a great career path. 

There was no typical day at this start up company.  There was so much to learn and I had to learn quickly the management team called the learning style being thrown to the wolves.  Most of the time this learning / training style was out of pure necessity; in that everything needed to be done yesterday and having limited staff to do it.  The hardest part of the job was not being able to move up as quickly as I hoped to.  The most enjoyable part of the job was working with a feeling of purpose:  cleaning up the environment.  The people I worked with were never dull or boring.  I liked working with this group, because everyone worked very hard.  The owner was a particular bright spot in that he was an expert in his industry and was able to guide and answer questions when I got stuck as well as grant me numerous learning opportunities.  I will be forever grateful for the wonderful learning this company gave me.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Learning more about the solar field industry and how it all works. I work along side the electricians and saw a lot more of what is involved in their work and gained lots of knowledge 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not really any stressful times just frustration on not knowing the next move ahead of time or having to hurry up and complete to move on to something else. It was all done safely but just seemed hurried. Plus not have a good foreman to help you get what you need was super stressful. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hustle and bustle. Many different spokes in that wheel. Lots of little fires between trades that were not necessary and easily put out with good communication. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy all over the place from placing forms to cleaning break rooms to skid steer work to building decks and so on and so forth.

Worked closely with all of the principals involved with OEG Projects. This includes General Contractors, Owners, Architects, Project Managers and Project Engineers. Used my 35 years of experience to help with the Project Bid, Project Contract, Project Schedule, Project Submittal's, coordinating with various vendors involved to ensure timely delivery of what each was to provide. Also involved with the monthly  Material and Labor Budget. Coordinated the manpower resources needed to ensure the Project's would be on time and under budget. Also involved in ensuring that Safety is followed. Required daily PTP and JHA from the field. Also required Daily reports to track the progress of the Project. Would assist in writing up MOPs as needed. Most enjoyable part of the job was the daily interaction with the OEG Team and GCs making sure all of the needs were being met to have a successful outcome at the end of the Project.

Teamwork with unilateral respect.  Hours are flexible around typical shift as long as deadlines are being met.  Definitely ebbs and flows balancing operations with bidding and estimating requirements.
