There are challenges to each project type, but the organizational skills I learned through SPG while managing multiple projects with short timelines taught me to be disciplined and focused. When I moved to larger projects, I felt like I had more time to get things done. I truly think that being in SPG made the transition to running larger projects fairly smooth. You have to know how to problem solve and do so quickly. SPG is all about working in a fast-paced environment. My trajectory here at Perlo has been really fast paced from maintenance jobs, to larger tenant improvements, to concrete tilt-ups. My first project in my new role was adding shelves in a client’s break room to now running large scale industrial projects. Sharing an office with Elissa was such a great learning experience for me, it allowed me to listen to conversations she had with Subcontractors and Owners. Elissa and I shared an office for a little while because we didn’t have enough space in our old office. When I started, it was just me, Senior Manager Elissa Looney, Project Manager Kathleen Buono and our Assistant Project Manager, Andrea Babb. SPG was really fun, and just a great learning experience. So that’s what I did, and I haven’t looked back since! You have what it takes, and I think you’d excel at that position and should give it a shot’. You also have good communication skills, and that’s what you need to excel as a PM. You’re personable, you work hard, and you’re organized. I remember Gayland (Looney, Perlo Co-owner) telling me, ‘you have a lot of potential and are being underutilized in this role. I was the Subcontractor Coordinator for about a year, before I was promoted to the Special Projects Group (SPG) as a Project Manager. ![]()
