我们最近遇到了现场运营协调员Trevor Armstrong，讨论他的背景和他在建造我们的建筑材料测试团队的角色德克萨斯州奥斯汀office.
Tell us a little bit about your background.
Oh man, I’ve been all over the board. I started out in medical school in hopes of becoming a trauma surgeon before realizing my love for music. I became a band manager shortly after, which was so cool. I even got to tour with Incubus in 2011!
How have you grown in your career at Braun Intertec?
My good friend, Ian Grice got me into the construction field. He and his dad got me started as a “dirt technician” and I’ve grown from there! I have now worked on industrial, rail, military, and commercial projects. I hope to pursue vertical construction too – I love big buildings!
After a few years here at Braun Intertec, theSan Antoniooffice reached out looking for some help to build the Austin office. So, I joined them a few days later and have been here in Austin ever since helping grow ourconstruction materials testing(CMT)团队。我想添加一些铁道部e technicians so I can keep managing projects. I hope to someday get to the Operations Manager level!
是什么吸引了你的布劳恩Intertec？manbet体育滚球
我们的领导团队就是我在这里得到了什么。Bryan Landers和Kevin Williams一直很棒，特别是当我刚刚开始和学习公司和我的角色时。我也喜欢我们是一个esop。完全归属只需要六年了！学习对我来说是一个大的蓬勃发展。
What do you like best about your job?
I love that I’m trusted to do my job here. Orlando Boscan has been very open about trust and he doesn’t micromanage. He knows I’ll get the job done. I do think that attitude is part of the Austin culture – it’s a great environment!
Another thing that I love about my job is that I get to travel. I didn’t know that was going to be the case when I started, so that’s been an added bonus. I’ve worked in several different offices, including La Porte, TX, Lenexa, KS, and most recently, Austin, TX. Then on a project basis, I’ve traveled all over. I have a big project in Nebraska coming up next!
How does safety play a role in your everyday work?
I’m a big believer in showing up to your jobsite 30 minutes early. This allows you to assess your surroundings, plan out what you’re going to do, and how to do it safely. Workplaces change every single day, so it is really helpful to just go early and look around. Also, get your sleep! Your decisions will be so much better.
What advice would you give to someone joining on as a CMT technician?
Be 100% with yourself every day. Come to your job with a good attitude and ready to work! Treat your team and your clients with respect. This way your day will be more positive, and you’ll get more work in the future. It’s a win-win!
