For any military operation the objectives of the mission are absolutely paramount. Failure is not an option. The team is motivated to achieve a common goal, often working under extreme pressure, pulling together to overcome challenges, paying attention to detail and always prioritising the objectives of the mission. In this way veterans have a lot to offer construction and infrastructure projects.
In this podcast we explore how veterans are using their military skills in new ways from serving their country to serving communities. We find that their experience of working in a dynamic and demanding environment enables a very unique understanding of the objectives of a major project and a skills set that is primed for successful delivery.
Guests
John Buck, program manager, Mott MacDonald
Jan Kozlowski, director operating capital projects and work equipment, Metro North Railroad (MNR)
Heather “M” McCray, structural engineer, Mott MacDonald
Frank Townsend, president, Patriot Shotcrete
