\"\" After graduating from Clarkson University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in civil engineering, Olivia joined PC as an office engineer and quickly progressed through an engineer-in-training program. Now a project manager, Olivia has grasped the opportunity to learn the intricate details of PC\u2019s diverse markets \u2013 from education, health care and resort work to water and wastewater treatment construction.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on all the projects she\u2019s worked on, there\u2019s no question which was her favorite: the BETA Technologies Manufacturing and Assembly Facility<\/a> in South Burlington, Vermont.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BETA project was completed on an incredibly accelerated schedule,\u201d said Olivia. \u201cWe delivered the project just 2.5 years after kickoff, which included six months for early design packages and six months for permitting. Imagine, a 188,500-square-foot facility going from the first concrete placement to the owner installing equipment in less than one year \u2013 that is truly incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n

The high-bay facility, located next to the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport runways, includes aircraft manufacture and assembly space, office space and support areas. Work on the 40-acre former brownfield site included substantial site preparation, including blasting and excavation, installation of a parking lot and a utility road, and installation of a 2.7-acre geothermal field, which is one of the largest in New England.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned so much working on this project. The pace, the people, the sheer size and scope of the facility, the complexity, and the all-in effort from every member of the team made every day exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

What contributes to Olivia\u2019s success?<\/p>\n

When the time came to start seriously thinking about a career path, Olivia knew math and science were her strengths. She thought maybe education would be a good choice but her aunt, a respected math teacher, said: \u201cWhen I was your age, I was told the only thing I could do in the math field was teach. So you go be an engineer.\u201d She took those words to heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started exploring engineering as a major and became completely fascinated by the idea that I could go to school and learn how a bridge or a building is structurally engineered,\u201d said Olivia. \u201cAnd then I fell in love with the idea of being a part of a team that actually builds them.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, she really enjoys problem solving and being part of building something new that will have lasting community impact. \u201cAchieving a milestone \u2013 whether large or small, on my own or as part of a team \u2013 is so incredibly motivating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia is now leading the charge on a large hotel addition just a mile down the road from the BETA project. She has a commanding presence combined with a fun personality that draws in a team like no other. We are lucky and proud to have Olivia as a PC Construction leader and employee owner.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
