You've gotten to know Robert Priolo, PE through Things that keep University Facility Managers up at night. Today, we are featuring him as this weeks #staffspotlight! Hear what surprised Bob when he joined the Etica Group team and what he enjoys most about his job below: Role: Senior Project Manager and Client Services Representative Years of Experience: Bob's a Structural Engineer with over 30 years of experience as a designer and project manager. Additionally, he has 15 years of experience as a Facilities Manager in Higher Education. Years at Etica Group: About 1.5 years! How do your services fit into the entire project lifecycle? My experience in facilities management is helping Etica Group on the front end of projects, with a focus on Higher Ed and K-12 markets. Given the broad range of services we provide, from Survey all the way to Construction Administration, Etica Group is an asset to any client with multiple buildings in a campus setting. I’m working with existing clients to expand the project types we help with and targeting the right new clients to introduce them to the Etica Group difference. What do you enjoy most about your job? The people. As I’m nearing the end of my career, I’ve learned how you build up those you work with is just as important as what you build. Etica Group believes in generational diversity and takes advantage of folks like me with lots of years to come alongside the college interns they hire. Etica Group is walking the talk in this area for sure. What has surprised you about working at Etica Group? The “employee first culture” was such a pleasant surprise. Etica Group is intentional about making you want to come to work and be part of something that’s going to enhance the experience for our clients. Etica Group listens to the suggestions and needs of the employees and is willing to make changes, such as hybrid work schedules. They also have an above average professional development program. Quick story, we had a new intern from Ball State, and they said the previous intern said, “you gotta meet Bob, he is so funny.” I smiled because the interns are actually talking about the old guy. #AceIt
