My favorite aspect of the job is being able to be outside every day and getting to meet new people.

I’ve been with PE Services for 10 and a half years and I do just about anything. I love seeing projects get completed. I also love being outside.

I started working part time for PE Services two years ago. As communications manager, I help clients with strategic communication planning – identifying the who (audiences), the what (key messages and content), the when (timing), and the how (communications vehicles) – as well as writing and editing for reports, manuals, meeting summaries, planning documents, and other publications, for the web, and for social media.

“Take your time, don’t be in a hurry to complete tasks. It’s always better to complete a task correctly the first time than to have to redo it or have someone else fix it. And ask questions. The only stupid question is the one you don’t ask.”

“I’ve been at PE Services for 13 years.  Currently, I’m a senior engineer providing CAD and engineering support during construction for METRO Green Line Extension (also known as the Southwest light rail project, or SWLRT.)”

“My favorite project was the Washington Avenue Bridge. I was on the Structures Team that worked on the design of that bridge, and then I was assigned to be the METC inspector as they put it together. It was interesting to see the drawings come to life.”

“I have been doing marketing work for architecture firms for over 20 years. I am loving the shift to the engineering and construction world. Every day is a learning experience and I really like the people I am working with.”

“I started working at PE Services in April 2023. My role entails field inspection, paying attention to detail, working with contractors and MnDOT employees as well as helping PE Services employees when needed.”
