What’s one thing you think everyone working in your position should know?
Even though you may be in “charge” of your job site… There are so many factors you can’t actually control. You have to keep thinking ahead and go out of your way to help the people surrounding you, want to help you in return.
What excites you about working at McCamy Construction?
The opportunity to help and be part of growing McCamy Construction. Sounds cheesy, but I can definitely see this team going somewhere and I can’t wait to see where it goes.
What’s an example of that?
This team is always willing to make and ask for suggestions or bounce ideas off of each other, which in turn brings together each of our own skill sets, schooling background, previous employment, and construction experience to achieve better solutions.
